Bringing art to shared spaces continues to be a ☁️ dream ˖⁺‧₊˚♡˚₊‧⁺
I want to create a more inclusive basketball community where people feel invited to express their individuality and get involved in any way they want. I see painted basketball courts as a way to expand and develop how people can participate in an urban basketball community. The court murals that I design transform a traditional basketball court into a dynamic place offering an artistic experience for players and community members.
This court is very special to me ( ˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈♡) and I can’t wait for everyone/anyone to enjoy it !!! 😀😀😀
🏁 An open run / hang out will be this Saturday 3-6pm 🗓 🎈🏀⛹️♀️🎊

I really enjoy making images that inject art into the world of sports. Thank you @toolyyy for showing my work to the students in advance and helping me decide which of my drawings best fit the community.
The whole experience left me feeling deeply inspired and I hope I can continue to make more court drawings in the new year!

TOLEDO, OH – The Arts Commission is excited to announce a public dedication event on Saturday, May 9th at 11AM, to take place at Inez Nash Park at 100 E Bancroft St, Toledo, OH 43620, adjacent to the Wayman D. Palmer YMCA. This dedication will celebrate the completion of a new public art installation by artist Andrea Bergart, consisting of a painted basketball court and 5 fully custom hoops and backboards.
Basketball is one of artist Andrea Bergart’s most recurring references—a subject rooted in everyday life and shared cultural experience. This project allowed Bergart the opportunity to reimagine a basketball court as a dynamic fusion of art, nature, and inventive play. Drawing inspiration from Toledo’s rich glass heritage and local flora, this whimsical design encourages players of all ages to engage with the court in imaginative, non-traditional ways. This project isn’t just about creating a court—it’s about creating a work of art that the community can activate and feel proud of. More than a recreational space, it’s a symbol of what makes Toledo unique and an invitation for the community to connect, imagine, and celebrate the joy of everyday play.
The court will serve as the capstone installation in a series of renovations by the City of Toledo Department of Parks and Recreation at Inez Nash Park, including a quarter mile walkway, shelter, main event plaza, new playground equipment, and updated pathways and plazas as part of a completely new park layout. These updates to Inez Nash Park follow the opening of the new Wayman D. Palmer YMCA in March 2025, together creating a new hub of activity for the community.
The dedication event will feature remarks from City Council President Vanice Williams, Art in Public Places Director Nathan Mattimoe, and project artist Andrea Bergart. 100 custom-designed basketballs by Andrea Bergart will be distributed to the first 100 children and families in attendance, and the public is invited to utilize the court and park in celebration of its completion.
