Central Park Tennis Center

Tucked into the heart of Central Park near 96th Street, this is New York City's largest public tennis facility — 26 clay courts and 4 hard courts run by NYC Parks. It's classic park tennis: unpretentious, busy, and social, with courts available to anyone on a walk-in or reservation basis right in the middle of Manhattan's most famous green space.
