Outdoor basketball players in La Crosse could soon have a new place for shooting hoops.

A city council committee has approved the relocation of basketball equipment from Poage Park to Powell Park on West Avenue.

The basketball hoops formerly at Poage were removed as part of the improvements made there a few years ago.

The full council votes next week on whether to approve the transfer of $33,000 in funding from the Poage Park budget to Powell.
