In a proactive initiative, the WNBA, in collaboration with Maybelline New York, has refurbished a basketball court in Toronto's Jane and Finch neighborhood ahead of the league's 2025 season. The upgrades, unveiled at the Oakdale Community Centre, include new equipment and vibrant murals designed by local artist Erika Flores. These enhancements aim to provide a safe, empowering space for young athletes, especially girls. Executives highlighted the projectâs focus on community unity and the promotion of self-confidence through sports participation.
Basketball has such a powerful way of uniting people. We're focused on giving a safe space for our fans to play, uniting them and promoting self-confidence.
We wanted to create something that reflects the community out here, and it reflects the growth of basketball, especially women's basketball, through diverse figures and vibrant colors.
We have worked with the community to come up with that artwork, which we see brings a lot of power. We have brave words that are on the walls.
