Basketball Tri-Courts Grand Opening at Century Gardens
The City of Calgary's Century Gardens basketball tri-courts are officially open, and we had a blast kicking things off with a 3-on-3 tournament! On Sunday, September 10, 2023, the community came together for a day of high-flying action and live music.
3-on-3! 🏀
The highlight of the day was the 3-on-3 basketball games organized by SSD - Stryker Sports Development with support from Calgary Surge. Participants of all ages showcased their skills. The first 20 people to sign up for the 3-on-3 games received free basketballs!
Live Music and Art
The event's atmosphere was electric, with DJ Fatrok (@fatrok) and DJ C-Sik (@djcsik) spinning hip-hop beats. Local artists Moey Blanco (@moeyblanco) and Jarett Sitter (@deepcuts) showcased their creativity with live, interactive displays! Adding to the excitement, the crew from Pulse Studios’ (@pulsestudioscalgary) electrified the courts with their thrilling and dynamic performances!
Community Spirit
The grand opening at Century Gardens also had a strong community focus. Numerous booths featuring organizations like Sport Calgary and KidSport were set up to promote accessible sports within our community! Community Food Truck Group (@communityfoodtruckgroup), provided our food truck onsite (@Shahbashawarma)!
Celebrating Community and Sports
The Century Gardens basketball tri-courts grand opening was a showcase of urban space revitalization. Fostering a sense of community downtown has been a major goal of spaces like the new basketball courts at Century Gardens. Bird Creatives was grateful to be a part of such an exciting launch! 🏀🎉
