About

Frederick Johnson Tennis Courts are 8 public outdoor hard courts in Harlem, run by NYC Parks with tennis operations managed by the Harlem Junior Tennis and Education Program. Locally known as The Jungle, it's a lively neighborhood spot for families and permit-holders, with one reviewer noting a sweeping view toward Yankee Stadium at dawn or dusk.

Courts & conditions

Eight outdoor hard courts, lit for evening play — reviewers describe the lighting as bright at night. Play is limited to a one-hour session per group. Courts are generally in okay shape, though a few players note soft or hollow patches in spots.

Good to know

A NYC tennis permit is required and can be purchased online for use during the outdoor season (April 1 through the Sunday before Thanksgiving). Parking nearby is limited, so arrive early or take public transit. Restrooms on site have been recently renovated, and a coordinator now helps keep play to one hour per session.
