Cleveland Cavaliers Make Powerful Investment That’s Changing Lives Off the Court

The Cleveland Cavaliers have taken another powerful step in their long-standing commitment to community investment with the unveiling of newly revitalized outdoor basketball courts at Trent Park in the Clark-Fulton neighborhood.

Marking their 18th and 19th court refurbishments in the city, and their largest project to date, the dual-court renovation is a testament to the Cavaliers’ mission of building more than a basketball legacy.

Backed by Ward 14 Councilwoman Jasmin Santana and shaped with input from residents, the transformation of Trent Park reflects a collaborative effort of great depth. The Cavaliers went door to door, asking neighbors what they envisioned for the future. That feedback helped shape every detail, from the court’s design to its broader purpose as a safe, vibrant space for youth and families.

“Today celebrates the Clark-Fulton neighborhood and its community, creativity, and bright future. Four years ago, Latin community leaders invited us to be true partners, and we couldn’t be prouder of how Trent Park was transformed,” said Nic Barlage, Cleveland Cavaliers and Rock Entertainment Group CEO. “The Cavs' ‘For More than Profit’ mission means investing deeply in the people and places that make Cleveland special. This is more than a basketball court; it’s a safe, joyful gathering place that reflects the heart of the community.”
