Posted at 1:29 PM, Jun 28, 2024

PUEBLO, Colorado — A staple in the Pueblo basketball community is getting major improvements.

The courts known as "The Slabs" are in for a makeover as construction begins to tear down and replace the facilities for the hoopers.

Located on Elizabeth Avenue, The Slabs has seen thousands of basketball players enjoy their courts.

Those passing by will always see the courts jam-packed with children and adults alike honing their craft, fiercely competing, and having fun with friends.

Years of extensive use have seen the courts begin to fade and look a bit worse for wear, but the new renovations will see the courts get a long-awaited fresh face.

Basketball fans in Pueblo will surely appreciate an iconic hooping spot in the city receiving the treatment it deserves, all while keeping the grit and tradition of streetball alive.
