The bill, titled the "Rodney Wright Basketball Court Designation Act of 2025," aims to officially name the basketball court at the Marvin Gaye Recreation Center in Washington, D.C., as the Rodney Wright Basketball Court. This designation honors Rodney Wright, a notable local figure who was a 1997 all-Metropolitan basketball player, led the Howard Bisons to two MEAC titles, and served as the head coach at Eastern High School, where he received the DCPS Coach of the Year award twice.
The bill includes a provision that the naming of the basketball court is in accordance with section 401 of the Street and Alley Closing and Acquisitions Procedures Act of 1982. Additionally, it mandates that the Secretary to the Council transmit a copy of the act to the Director of the Department of Parks and Recreation once it becomes effective. The act will take effect after being approved by the Mayor, undergoing a 30-day Congressional review, and being published in the District of Columbia Register.
