    Palomino Park becomes the second basketball court that the Phoenix Suns and Devin Booker’s Starting 5 program has opened since they began their journey back in 2019. Since its conception, Starting 5 has aimed to support nonprofits in Arizona and improve the lives of children and their families, which is why the campaign has also helped build three learning centers.

    The charity organization has granted $100,000 to five local nonprofits per year and holds a clothing drive for back-to-school shopping. Since being drafted to Phoenix back in 2014, Booker has made himself a valuable part of the growth of local underserved communities with both recreational and educational renovations.

    Devin Booker’s Starting 5 initiative renovates Phoenix park

    Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker is known for his skills on the basketball court, but he’s also making a big impact off the court with his Starting 5 initiative. The program, which aims to give back to the community and improve the lives of local residents, recently took on a new project to renovate a park in Phoenix.

    Booker and his team of volunteers worked tirelessly to revamp the park, adding new playground equipment, benches, and landscaping to create a more welcoming and enjoyable space for families to gather. The project also included painting murals and adding basketball courts for the community to enjoy.

    The park’s transformation was met with excitement and gratitude from local residents, who now have a beautiful new space to enjoy thanks to Booker’s initiative. The project not only improves the physical environment of the park but also helps to foster a sense of community and pride among its visitors.

    Booker’s dedication to giving back to the community through his Starting 5 initiative is truly commendable, and the impact of his efforts can be seen in the smiling faces of those who now have a revitalized park to enjoy. Thank you, Devin Booker, for making a positive difference in Phoenix!

  • Devin Booker’s charity helps renovate Phoenix basketball court


    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.
