Basketball Court Canada Geese Control

A basketball court sitting next to open lawn or a park pond is an easy stop for a resident goose flock. Geese loafing at the edge of the court leave droppings on the surrounding grass and, often, on the court itself, turning a hard playing surface slippery and unsanitary for the kids and adults using it.

Birds & Geese Beware, Inc. has managed Canada geese at park and recreation facilities across New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut since 1991, using methods that keep courts clean without disturbing the surrounding park.

Many of the courts we service belong to a township parks department or a homeowners association rather than a single property owner, which means scheduling has to account for league calendars, permit reservations, and shared maintenance staff. We coordinate visit timing with whoever manages the booking calendar for the court, whether that is a recreation department office or an HOA property manager, so Border Collie visits and any habitat work happen during natural gaps in play rather than during a scheduled game or practice.

Because these courts usually sit inside a larger park, we also look at how geese move across the whole property, not just the court itself. A flock that is pushed off the court but still has full run of an adjacent lawn or pond will simply drift back the moment attention shifts elsewhere. Addressing the surrounding grounds alongside the court itself gives a result that holds up between our scheduled visits.
