You Pick: Best Place to Buy Sporting Goods

With the Boston Marathon , spring sports underway and warm weather arriving, it’s a good time to think about getting out and getting active.

For this week’s Best Of Needham – Readers’ Choice poll, we want to know where you go for all your sports gear. Whether its bike equipment, baseballs, tennis shoes, football cleats, ice skates, running shorts, racquets or other items—who’s got what you need to get in the game? Which shop do you turn to for the best deals, friendly atmosphere or wide selection?

Below is a roundup of many of the sporting goods shops in Needham, Newton, Wellesley and Dedham. Vote for your favorite shop now through Friday, April 13 at noon, and be sure to add your comments at the bottom of the page and your reviews to the business listing in the Directory. Because the poll is not scientific, these extra comments and reviews really count and will help Patch decide the winner.

The winner will be revealed by noon on Friday. (Note: Please vote only once per survey, per Patch. See the complete contest rules in a PDF at right.)
