PHOENIX (AZFamily) — The Phoenix Suns and Devin Booker’s charity have made a north Phoenix park a little more beautiful with a renovated basketball court.
The official unveiling was held on Tuesday afternoon at Palomino Park, located on 30th Street just north of Greenway Road.
The remodeled court is now orange and black with white baselines, sidelines and three-point lines.
One side says, “Be Legendary,” while the other side says, “Booker.”
Different icons on the court are some of Booker’s favorite things, including the head of Booker’s dog Haven, a camcorder, his Nike shoes called the Book 1s, a Detroit hat and a lowrider car.
Before, the court was only concrete and missing the basketball hoops.
The court transformation was made possible through the Phoenix Suns/Phoenix Mercury Foundation and Booker’s Starting 5 initiative, a $2.5 million pledge to the community.
Booker didn’t speak at the event, but hundreds of people lined up to get a photo with him or shake his hand.
After the ceremony, kids got to enjoy the one-of-a-kind court, plus there were food trucks, vendors and other family-friendly activities.

Devin Booker, star player for the Phoenix Suns, is not only making waves on the basketball court but also in the community. His charity, the Devin Booker Starting Five Initiative, recently partnered with the City of Phoenix to renovate a local basketball court in need of some love.
The court, located in the heart of the city, had fallen into disrepair over the years. Cracks in the pavement, faded lines, and broken hoops made it nearly impossible for the local youth to enjoy playing basketball in a safe and inviting environment.
Thanks to Devin Booker’s generosity and dedication to giving back, the court received a much-needed makeover. The pavement was resurfaced, new backboards and hoops were installed, and fresh paint was applied to the lines. The once neglected court now shines bright and is a welcoming space for the community to come together and enjoy the game of basketball.
Devin Booker’s commitment to improving the lives of those in his community is truly inspiring. By using his platform to make a positive impact, he is not only a role model on the court but also off the court. Thank you, Devin Booker, for your continued dedication to giving back and making a difference in Phoenix.
