An important and novel aspect about Bankshot is its educational merit. The game offers an enriched play envi-

ronment composed of a series of novel sport challenges that invigorate the brain with mind nurturing play experiences. Bankshot's design is also intended to stimulate motor coordination in a dynamic kid-friendly, inclusionary game. Becuase of Bankshot's spatial relationships, particularly in geometrical composition and court design, the Bankshot court is part of an new genre in the art/play/think world of wonder. It combines creative and scientific elements to produce an advanced participatory art form for today's young person. Bankshot is pure physics: an excercise in translating science into action. (Florida Park & Recreation Quarterly).
