The Monumental Sports and Entertainment Foundation opened three newly refurbished rec courts Tuesday at the Ferebee Hope Recreation Center in Ward 8 in the District.
The tennis court and two basketball courts were painted in the colors of the Washington Wizards, Washington Mystics and Capital City Go-Go, and a three-panel mural was erected with the teams’ logos and some popular basketball sayings for added decoration.
The project was part of Monumental’s new “Forward8” initiative, designed to give back to residents in the same ward where the Entertainment and Sports Arena was erected to house Mystics and Go-Go home games and Wizards practices.
