Opening: NDSM Giants 23 April

NDSM GIANTS - POLYLESTER

The official opening takes place on April 23 at the 3x3 Legacy Courts next to Treehouse NDSM from 17:30 to 19:30.

The NDSM Giants are arriving at the 3x3 Legacy Courts on the NDSM-werf. Since 2024, these colorful basketball courts have already given the wharf a strong and recognizable appearance. The graphic design by PolyLester, featuring bright orange and blue stripes, aligns with the lines and shapes of the surrounding buildings. With the arrival of the NDSM Giants, this location continues to grow into a vibrant meeting place for youth, local residents, and visitors of the wharf.
