As the Barclays Center for the Nets goes up on Flatbush Avenue in Prospect Heights, the team is also developing playgrounds in Brooklyn.

The nonprofit arm of the basketball organization, the Barclays Nets Community Alliance, unveiled a new play space Monday at P.S. 276 in Canarsie.

"We want to be involved in the community. We want to be here as a team. and we want to start by being here now," said Nets General Manager Billy King.

The Nets are scheduled to start playing in Brooklyn next year, but they are building momentum in Brooklyn now. They helped fund a basketball court and other schoolyard equipment as part of a private-public partnership with the Brooklyn borough president's office.

The group, called Out2Play, helped refurbish the outdoor space.

"The ground was uneven. There was no blacktop, because the blacktop had deteriorated," said P.S. 276 Principal Yasmine Fidelia. "So this is absolutely beautiful, what we have now."

"The P.S. 276 community worked really closely with us to design this playground. As you can see, it's sort of complicated," said Out2Play program administrator Sarah Gilbert. "We've taken advantage of every nook and cranny to make sure that you guys have hopscotch and double dutch and a track."

Play spaces were designed around trailers, used as classrooms.

The P.S. 276 project cost $175,000, and it is the 22nd playground project sponsored by the Barclays Nets Community Alliance. All but one of them have been been built in Brooklyn.

The Nets are trying to not only to be a good neighbor, but also win over critics. The controversial arena displaced residents and businesses in the area to get built and faced numerous legal challenges.

But as the development moved forward, so did the good will. The P.S. 276 playground comes complete with fitness and nutrition training.

"Our goal it to bring health nutrition programs to kids to help them deal with the stress of daily living," said fastnyc CEO Scott Cooper.

Students liked the new additions.

"I love this slide. I can't wait to play on it," said one student.

"I'm happy because we have a basketball court and all my friends can enjoy," said another.

So the Nets are building the foundation for future fans.
