Protective padding around the backboard of basketball hoops is a key feature that provides added protection and safety. Most of the protective padding around the basketball backboards at the Albert J. Boro Community Center had been torn away or damaged. The Facilities team was able to save some of the existing padding pieces and splice in some new sections so that now all 6 backboards have protection around them. Not only does the padding help to extend the life of the backstop but it also provides added safety and protection.
