旧金山三处公共篮球场完成升级 两处球场画上WNBA官方三分线

旧金山——位于加州旧金山县的旧金山(市县合一),旧金山市长丹尼尔·卢里(Daniel Lurie)10月16日在西增区(Western Addition)的玛格丽特·S·Hayward游乐场(Margaret S. Hayward Playground)为一条新画的WNBA官方三分线揭幕。这是旧金山娱乐与公园局联合WNBA、金州女武神队(Golden State Valkyries)升级全市三处公共篮球场行动的一部分。
新线采用WNBA标志性的“火焰橙”配色,是联赛“Line 'Em Up”计划的一部分,地面与篮板上还印有女武神队和WNBA标志。北滩(North Beach)的乔·迪马吉奥游乐场(Joe DiMaggio Playground)也已画上同样的官方三分线,市府称这两处是加州首批画上WNBA官方三分线的公共球场。女武神队即将出战WNBA总决赛,旧金山还将主办2027年WNBA全明星赛。
本周三(10月14日),以勇士队名宿命名的内特·瑟蒙德泛汉德尔球场(Nate Thurmond Panhandle Basketball Courts)翻新后重新开放。工程由金州勇士队、金州社区基金会与好消息基金会(Good Tidings Foundation)出资,包括重新铺设并按勇士队配色粉刷地面、更换篮筐和篮板,并以艺术作品纪念瑟蒙德,是合作方第三次翻新这处球场。
卢里表示,公共球场是孩子发现运动乐趣、朋友放学后相聚的地方,新三分线能让年轻球员在自家社区的球场上看到自己的身影。女武神队总裁杰斯·史密斯(Jess Smith)说,每一个在这条橙色线上投篮的孩子都会看到,女子职业篮球就在身边,这条路也向他们敞开。
San Francisco Upgrades Three Public Basketball Courts, Adding Official WNBA Three-Point Lines
San Francisco is a city in San Francisco County, California (a consolidated city-county). San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie on October 16 unveiled an official WNBA three-point line at Margaret S. Hayward Playground in the Western Addition, the latest step in a partnership among the WNBA, the Golden State Valkyries and the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department to upgrade three public basketball courts across the city.
The new "Fire Orange" line at Hayward Playground is part of the WNBA's "Line 'Em Up" initiative, and the court also carries Valkyries and WNBA logos on its surface and backboards. A second court, at Joe DiMaggio Playground in North Beach, has received the same official three-point line. The city says the two playgrounds are the first public courts in California to get the league's official line. The upgrades come as the Valkyries head to the WNBA Finals and San Francisco prepares to host the WNBA All-Star Game in 2027.
On Wednesday, the renovated Nate Thurmond Panhandle Basketball Courts reopened. Funded by the Golden State Warriors, the Golden State Community Foundation and the Good Tidings Foundation, the project resurfaced and repainted the courts in Warriors colors, installed new rims and backboards, and added artwork honoring the late Hall of Famer — the third time the partners have refurbished the courts named for him.
