Glow In The Dark Basketball Court & Giant Lite Brite Being Installed in Downtown Rochester

As a kid, I would play basketball all of the time. There were many times I would still be out practicing hours after the sun went. I always wished the light on the garage was brighter so I could keep playing, but eventually, I’d always have to go in because it was nearly impossible to see the ball or the hoop.

You’ll have no problem spotting the ball this weekend because a glow-in-the-dark basketball court is being installed in downtown Rochester. Now, this court isn’t intended for competitive games, but you’ll be able to use it to perfect your shot or for a friendly game of P-I-G or H-O-R-S-E. This is going to be so much fun.
