About
Howard Bennett Playground is a neighborhood park in Harlem with outdoor hard tennis courts set among shaded trees, alongside a playground and basketball courts. It's a relaxed, low-key spot for a casual hit or a family outing, with both full-size and mini courts plus a hitting wall for practice.
Courts & conditions
Two full-size and four mini hard courts, all outdoors, plus a hitting wall for solo practice. Restrooms are on site.
Good to know
An NYC Parks tennis permit can be purchased online to reserve a court, though walk-on play is common too. The tennis season runs April 1 to the Sunday before Thanksgiving, with courts generally open from 8am to dusk (hours vary by month).
