ACT Basketball Court Locations with Ownership and Surface Details

ACT Government's polygon dataset maps basketball courts in parks and open spaces. Assets are owned or managed by the City and Environment Directorate, with attributes including suburb, ownership, asset subtype, and surface type. Data is captured via the works-as-executed handover process or field audits and maintained in the ACTmapi catalogue.

Use Cases

• Map public recreation facility distribution based on suburb and asset subtype.
• Analyze asset ownership and maintenance responsibility based on the 'ownership' and 'maintained by' attributes.
• Compare court construction materials based on the 'surface type' attribute.
• Identify gaps in public basketball infrastructure based on location descriptions.

Strengths

• Attributes include specific asset subtypes (4 Way Hoop, Double Court, Half Court, Single Court) and surface types.
• Data is sourced from an official government asset database and maintained via defined processes.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GPKG, GeoJSON, and KML.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Dataset excludes privately owned or federally managed courts, limiting coverage.
