AccessibilityTennis Courts
It’s never been easier to become a tennis player in New York City—you can purchase a tennis permit online for use at any outdoor tennis court during tennis season, which lasts from the first Saturday in April to the Sunday before Thanksgiving.
Permits and Reservations
Visit our Tennis at NYC Parks page to purchase or renew your permit, to reserve a court, or to find more information about our tennis program.
Indoor Tennis
A few parks offer opportunities to play tennis indoors. Indoor tennis does not require an NYC Parks tennis permit, has special pricing, schedules, and hours of play, and may be used after tennis season has ended. Please check the listings below for indoor tennis locations.
Hours and Schedule
Most courts are open from 8:00 a.m. to dusk, except at Central Park where courts open at 7:00 a.m. and Randall's Island where courts open at 6:30 a.m. and close at 11:00 p.m.
Follow the Rules
Before heading to a court, make sure that you’ve read our rules and regulations. Follow our permit rules, wear smooth-sole tennis shoes, and use a maximum of six tennis balls on each court.
