  Aaaahhh! Sad to see the outdoor basketball courts of the 1960's and 70's have been replaced with parking. This was the only place in the southeast part of Portola Valley to have 10 foot high hoops. The Corte Madera elementary school, [and Ormondale school] of that time had hoops that were seven feet in height. Those same schools didn't have athletic fields, either. The Woodside Priory was a great kids' place for pickup basketball games, touch or flag football games, and baseball, too, back in the day. The proprietors of the Priory never had any issues with outside kids using their outdoor courts and fields. That was very nice of them!

  Thanks for your comments about the basketball courts at the Priory. During construction of the Performing Arts Center in 2008-2009, the outdoor basketball courts were moved to the area behind the Gambetta Gym and the pool, just below the tennis courts. To access the courts, park in the Priory's main parking lot, follow the signs directing you to the trail behind the pool.
