Set of twelve brand new hard courts for the Lower East Side opened 2025 in the East River Park.

Courts operate on a first-come, first-serve basis — when players are waiting, speak with those already in line to determine your place.

During peak times, players line up by plugging their rackets into the fence near the court entrance.

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.

Access via Pier 42, the Delancey St pedestrian bridge (over the FDR) just south of the Williamsburg Bridge, or the Corlears Hook Bridge.

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