Got a basketball jones....

So...I'm in dire need of losing some weight...tried a boot camp once, and there's a reason I tried it only once. Tried joining a gym several times -- including running up part of my $30,000+ debt on a personal trainer....didn't do a damn bit of good. I'd do some additional walking, but this time of year it's quite chilly...

BUT....something I'd love to do is just play some informal basketball...you know, get together with people who don't give a damn that I haven't played organized basketball since I was in 8th grade (I'm 35 now) and was only mediocre at best at the time...but you know what?? It was the best exercise I ever had, and I loved it...

Where in the city -- ideally north side -- can I go for some friendly, no-one-cares-if-you-suck, get-some-good-exercise basketball??? Especially cheap, btw...
