Pick Up Basketball in Houston

Does anyone know of any good places to play pick-up? I have been playing pick-up casually since college. I’m a decent player, but wouldn’t consider myself good enough for Fonde Rec Center or any level of collegiate basketball.

I love the sport but am having a hard time finding a place to play with adults. I recently moved from Boston, where it wasn’t hard to find good runs on an outdoor court. In Houston, it seems like either you find a free gym that’s filled with middle and high schoolers on summer vacation, or you have to pay $100+ a month for a nicer gym membership like Lifetime.

I don’t mind paying, but looking for a more affordable option at least. Ideally, I’d be playing once a week. if anyone has any spots, I would very much appreciate it.

So far I have been loving Houston, just need to find a good activity to burn off all the extra calories from the Tex-Mex :p
