Discover tennis players in New York City, schedule singles or doubles, manage your regular group, and never struggle to find a hitting partner again.
Flushing Meadows is home to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center and the US Open, and the Central Park Tennis Center's 26 clay courts have hosted players since 1910. But playing here means learning NYC Parks' permit system first: a seasonal permit or a $15 single-play permit, good for one hour at any public court in any borough.
Sound familiar?
"Anyone free for a hit?"
You message five people individually. Three are busy, one doesn't respond, and by the time the last one replies, the court slot is gone.
Finding players at your level
You want a rally partner who can match your pace, not someone who's just started or far above your level. But you have no way to know.
Permits before players
Before you can even coordinate a match, someone has to sort out an NYC Parks permit - seasonal, single-play, or a Central Park reservation - and figure out which one actually applies.
Winter empties the courts
Most public courts shut down once it's cold. Prospect Park Tennis Center puts up an air-supported bubble for winter play, but not everyone knows it's there.
