The G Court opened at Millennium Park this weekend, creating a permanent tribute to Guillaume Hoareau and a new home for basketball in the centre of St Helier. On a beautiful day, the court was immediately alive with young players, families and people from across Jersey’s basketball community.
Guillaume’s family joined the opening by video call from Réunion, watching as the court was formally opened and seeing the turnout from Jersey’s basketball community. It was a humbling moment and gave the day an added significance for everyone involved.
There was a superb turnout from the wider community, with Ministers joining the celebrations and Deputy Jonathan Renouf officially opening the court.
The court itself was designed around Guillaume’s home island of Réunion, with its colours carried across the playing surface as one bold graphic composition. Seeing the court full of young players throughout the day made the value of the project immediately apparent.
The project has also been a great example of Government working alongside community groups to turn an idea into something tangible. A—NY has been very pleased to play a part in bringing the court to life alongside everyone involved.
