Getting on a court
No City reservation here, so a Parks permit and turning up is the way on. Some parks are run by a concession that takes its own bookings, so it is worth checking the venue before you travel. A Parks permit is required from the first Saturday in April to the Sunday before Thanksgiving.

A single visit covers an hour of singles or two hours of doubles. Adults with IDNYC get 10% off the full-season permit.
A Parks permit is required for daytime play, 6am to 7pm, during the outdoor season from May 17 to October 4, 2026. Evening bookings from 7pm to 11pm do not need a permit.
