Community Basketball at Winnipeg Community Centres

Winnipeg has 63 community centres, and a few run adult basketball. Lord Roberts Community Centre has Wednesday pickup, and Riverview Community Centre has a Monday game. Most community basketball in Winnipeg is for youth, so the table below lists only the adult programs.

A basketball league in Winnipeg with set teams also plays at community centres. DBA, the Disciples Basketball Association, is a Winnipeg men's basketball league that plays its Fall 2026 games at Greendell and Valour community centres.

Winnipeg community centres are run by volunteer boards

The City of Winnipeg's community centres page lists 63 independent Winnipeg community centres, which operate 81 recreation facilities. The City owns the buildings and grounds, and a volunteer board at each centre manages the facility, hires staff and runs programs. Across the city, the General Council of Winnipeg Community Centres supports them.

Each centre sets its own programs and prices, so check the centre's own page before you go. For open gym at the YMCA-YWCA and the universities, see our post on open gym basketball in Winnipeg.

Adult basketball at Winnipeg community centres in 2026‑27

Four adult programs are run by or held at community centres. Community centres run three of them, and JAM Sports runs the one at Greendell.

We checked these programs on November 11, 2026.

Lord Roberts Community Centre runs pickup on Wednesday nights

Pickup Basketball at Lord Roberts Community Centre is on Wednesdays from 8 pm to 10 pm, in the gym at 725 Kylemore Ave. Players 15 and older pay a $5 drop-in fee, which the centre uses to help keep the gym open. It's an ongoing drop-in, and the canteen is open. The centre's page doesn't say whether pickup is coed or for men only.

Riverview Community Centre plays Monday nights at Lord Roberts Community School

Riverview Community Centre runs a coed adult pickup night on Mondays at 7 pm at Lord Roberts Community School. The 2026‑27 season goes from October to June and costs $75 for the year.

Players need to have played basketball before, but not at a competitive level. You register on the Riverview Community Centre website.

Robert A. Steen Community Centre runs a women's program

Robert A. Steen Community Centre, 980 Palmerston Ave, runs Women's Basketball 18+ on Wednesdays from 8 pm to 9:30 pm, September 16 to December 9, 2026, for $100. The centre lists no men's program.

JAM Sports plays coed 3v3 at Greendell Community Centre on Tuesdays

JAM Sports runs Indoor Court 3s, a recreational coed program, on Tuesdays at Greendell Community Centre, and it doesn't publish a price. Greendell is also where DBA plays its Monday games.

Most community centre basketball in Winnipeg is for youth

Garden City Community Centre's basketball page lists youth WMBA programs only, and its adult leagues are hockey. Corydon, Whyte Ridge and Southdale community centres also run youth WMBA programs. For other ways adults can play, see our guide on where to play basketball in Winnipeg.

DBA plays Fall 2026 games at Greendell and Valour community centres

Monday games are at Greendell Community Centre, 75 Woodlawn Ave. in St. Vital, and Friday games are at Valour Community Centre (Isaac Brock site), 715 Telfer St N in the West End. Our DBA gyms page has the current times.

DBA games at both gyms are streamed live on our YouTube channel. The Fall 2026 media day was on Friday, October 9, at Archwood Community Centre, with professional team photos and highlight videos. DBA has also held games at East Elmwood, Lord Roberts and Linden Woods community centres, and our post on where DBA has played covers each one.
