- Outdoor: Yes

Perth dials it in when it comes to jaw dropping basketball courts next to natural attractions. As is the case for the South Beach Basketball Court that boasts a sparkling blue court and fresh backboard and net set up. Has lights and is free to play but is a multi-purpose thing so generally pretty busy. Best bit? After your session go for a dip.
