Bucks’ Pat Connaughton will renovate basketball courts in Milwaukee, surrounding suburbs and Kenosha.

Pat Connaughton continues to make a mark on the city of Milwaukee and the state of Wisconsin, as the Milwaukee Bucks forward announced that his eponymous foundation will partner with six new local organizations to renovate basketball courts.

The foundation will also renovate courts in New Hampshire and Africa.

It is the largest series of projects in one summer for the Pat Connaughton Foundation, which had previously created or renovated six different ‘Connaughton Courts’ between 2016 and 2023.

“The court is a symbol,” Connaughton told the Journal Sentinel in November. “The court is used for other sports and activities, volunteer clubs or education, things that will take a holistic approach to these kids’ lives and help keep them out of trouble and things like that.”

The largest undertaking will take place in Meaux Park at 1904 W. Villard Ave. in Milwaukee, where six outdoor courts will be renovated. The park has long been home to the city’s famous Warning League, organized by the Running Rebels Community Organization.

The Lighthouse Youth Center, located at 2475 W. Roosevelt Dr., will have half of its outdoor court renovated.

In addition, the foundation will work on an outdoor track at Washington Park in Mukwonago, an indoor track at Concordia College in Mequon and an indoor track at St. Jude in Wauwatosa.

In Kenosha, three full courts will be renovated, while one half court will be renovated to be ADA/wheelchair friendly.

A native of Arlington, Massachusetts, Connaughton typically reconnects with his roots and this summer is no different as the foundation will be working on a court at Franklin High School in New Hampshire.

And for the first time, the foundation is internationally renovating a court in Rwanda, Africa, with an organization called Shooting Touch. The organization began serving girls of color in Boston in 2007 and launched the Rwanda Project in 2012 to, in part, provide equal access to physical activity, wellness, health care and education services and to promote social change.

The first six “Connaughton Courts” are located at Connaughton’s alma mater at St. John’s Prep in Danvers, Massachusetts and the Neighborhood House, Augustin Prep, St. Marcus Lutheran, Silver Spring Neighborhood Center and the Milwaukee College Prep 38th St. Campus in Milwaukee .
