Notes :

When players are waiting, courts operate on a first-come, first-serve basis. Upon arrival, speak with those already waiting to determine your place in line. During peak times, players often line up by plugging their rackets into the fence near the court entrance. If you see this system in place, simply add your racket to the end of the line and wait your turn. Court time is limited to 1 hour for singles and 2 hours for doubles (4 players on court). Please be respectful, communicate openly, and keep track of your time—especially when others are waiting to play.

Accessible via the Delancey St pedestrian bridge (over the FDR) located just south of the Williamsburg bridge on the Lower East Side.

There is a working water fountain just south of the courts nearby the mini soccer field.

Six more courts (total of 12) will open at a later date.
