Where to play tennis indoors in New York City

Most of it is not a club. New York’s winter tennis is mostly a bubble thrown over public park courts from around October to May, taken down again in spring. We have found 7 places with courts you can play indoors, 47 courts between them, out of 111 places to play in the city.

Bubbled for the winter

Open air in summer, covered in winter. The season is quoted as each venue states it, because they do not share one.

Indoor courts, season not stated

These have courts you can play on indoors, but no source we read gave a season. That means we do not know whether they are year round, not that they are.

Do you still need a permit?

It depends who runs the courts, not whether there is a roof. A bubble over a public park is still a public park in most cases, and the operator sets what it costs to book a court under it. A club sets its own terms and no City permit applies.

What a permit costs, and who needs one

How this list was built

Indoor play is recorded only where a source stated it. Nothing here is inferred from a venue being private, from a photograph, or from the name. Each venue’s own page names the source the facts were read from and the date.

This list is not everywhere you can play indoors in the city. It is everywhere we have recorded a court count for it. Some venues are known to put a bubble up and are missing from the list because the figure we hold came from a source we have not been able to read again to confirm, and we would rather leave a place off than publish a number under the wrong name. A venue missing here has not been ruled out.
