Should I try to find the owner?

What are some ways I could figure out who owns it?

Is there a park ranger?

There's a man who takes care of the greenery, he's not often around the basketball court / playground.

Do a poster in the shape of a basketball

Probably best to leave it where you found it, in case the owner comes back looking for it.

It's a very busy park so I don't think it would be left for the owner to find themselves, that's why I want to take it under my wing!

The problem with that the next person won’t be the owner but won’t let that stop them from taking it

I was thinking of sticking up a note but shaping it like a basketball could be fun.

If I did put out a note with my contact info I'd ask them to describe the ball before giving it them, it's not a typical orange ball.

It's a basketball, hardly the crown jewels.

You can get a lot of enjoyment from a simple ball

Could take it and do a Facebook post? Is there a local community group for your area?

It's probably worth around €30, that's a lot to some people, imagine a young person did odd jobs to save up for it?

There are a few but I haven't joined them but I suppose it wouldn't do any harm to check them out.

Bens idea is probably the best.

Does it have a brand name on it?

Yeah, this is probably the best option

…could you make a ‘Found’ notice and put it up in the park with a pic of the ball and say that it’s found it’s way to a loving family and is very happy in its new life…

If you put a post up you will have to say the owner will have to describe the basketball otherwise you will have scummy people claiming it

Burst it. Put a knife right through it.

Basketball is a boring sport.
