Yoiudo Park has about 10 outdoor courts that stay busy well past midnight most days. Easy to get into pick-up games there, and some pretty good talent, too.

there a nice outdoor playground near cheonho stn. with a soft track surface. its always busy on weekends so no probs getting into games. theres an indoor court close by too. i usually play on saturdays with a group of koreans, theyre not that good but at this point im just happy play. id welcome any waygooks with some game to come and play.

ps. have any of you who have played with koreans noticed any differences in styles of play? i find it less agressive.

Thanks for the responses everybody.

I'll be leaving for Korea next week so its nice to know that their are some decent places to play ball. Back home in Canada, I played against Korean (and Chinese) guys often at my local gym. I'm 6'3" and I play like a point guard so none of them could stop me. However, they did develop a strategy in which I was forced to guard their biggest player in hopes of tiring me out in the paint so I wouldn't be as effective in the open court.

They still couldn��t stop me, however, I had a great time and they were all good people.
