A cracked street court is fine for a quick hit. Families need a real surface, a bathroom when luck holds, shade for the kid who is not rallying, and a booking or permit that actually works on Saturday. New York’s serious tennis inventory sits at Flushing’s US Open grounds, Randall’s Island academy bubbles, Central Park’s permitted hard courts, and clay or hard indoors from Roosevelt Island to Midtown and the Bronx.

How to use this on FamPoints

Use the map below to see all ten pins. Tap Open on map to jump into the play map, or Tag here to pin a court that is missing from the catalog. After a set, record the score on the Board so the family scoreboard stays honest — and log the exact venue name, not a vague “Flushing Meadows.”

Tips: USTA and SPORTIME book online and peak evenings sell out. Clay clubs need clay-friendly soles. Winter means indoor bubbles and Midtown hard courts; summer opens outdoor inventory.
