About

Pier 42 is a public outdoor tennis spot along the East River Greenway in New York, part of the NYC Parks courts network. It's a casual, walk-in setup — good for a straightforward game without booking hassle, right on the waterfront.

Courts & conditions

Four outdoor hard courts, first-come-first-served with no advance reservations. One recent reviewer noted the asphalt surface has some cracks and isn't a standard hard-court finish.

Good to know

Access is walk-in only — there's no online booking for specific court times. Play requires an NYC Parks tennis permit: a $100 adult season permit valid at any NYC Parks outdoor court, or a $15 single-day pass. Restrooms are on site.
