Tennis at Fort Greene Park

These courts have been resurfaced and are much better than they used to be! You still have to have a tennis permit (or single play tickets) to play here (just like all of the city courts). Usually there is a court attendant to manage the process. It’s very busy weekend mornings/​evenings and weekends, but easy to get onto during the week.

Dismal, can’t believe the money that is generated from seasons pass ($ 200) and individual play ($ 15 per hour) is used efficiently. Need to contact the comptroller’s office there’s got to be some shenanigans (embezzlement or corruption) going on as usual.
Courts (6) haven’t been resurface since they stopped using wooden rackets. To boot the park is filled with garbage and over ridden with weeds. Disgusting.

I actually found the tennis courts at Fort Greene Park via Google Earth. I wanted to play tennis near my work but didn’t know where to go. Alas, thanks to Google, I saw 6 outdoor hardcourts at this park called Fort Greene (never been to Fort Greene Park before).
We went on a sunny workday afternoon. There are 6 courts and during the hour we played, 5 of them were taken. There was a NYC Parks and Rec lady working the courts checking for NY Tennis Permits. So your tennis permit is valid and required here.
There are a couple long arteries of cracks that go through all courts. Oddly enough, the ball kept on finding those cracks and making funny bounces. Courts 3 – 4 are the best with 1 being the worst. Short weeds are also growing out of the cracks. But you know what, it’s an available tennis court near work. In a city such as NY where tennis time is highly sought after, I wasn’t about to complain. We had a great time during that sunny day hitting a few tennis balls on the court.
