The Deal: Placed in Maguncia Square , those two courts are the most well-known courts in Valencia, together with the ones in Pont de Fusta.One of the common problems that affect basketball in Valencia is that courts must share the same space with other sports, normally soccer. This is not the case of Tres Forques courts, since the two basketball courts are separated from volleyball and soccer courts. This fact allows ballers to play at any time. On other courts, a single soccer game will invalidate the use of the two basketball courts.

These space for basketball is in the middle of a nice park in a beatiful environment. One 3on3 tournament was held here on last June 6th. From Ballers Network, we hope that this tournament has new editions in 2010 and so forth.
