Reading's basketball facilities were rated by TikTok stars SSB UK.
An account with 650,000 followers and almost 20 million likes, the pair travel around the UK rating basketball facilities in towns and cities.
Visiting Long Barn Lane Recreation Ground, near Northumberland Avenue, aspects such as a backboard, nets and ground surface were all assessed.
The highest rated aspect was traction, given a six out of ten, with the explanation "some loose stones but you'll be fine."
