CityParks Tennis, a City Parks Foundation program, brings high-quality instruction and equipment into NYC neighborhoods where few tennis or other organized athletic opportunities exist. The program teaches tennis basics to kids ages 5-17, while providing opportunities for advancement through multiple levels of progressively challenging instruction. Our tennis programs are offered in 38 parks, reaching more than 7,000 kids each year. Participants compete in tournaments and train in special U.S. Open clinics with tennis legends Billie Jean King, John McEnroe, John Isner, Virginia Wade, and others. CityParks Tennis also offers a year-round, intermediate training program with more advanced coaching for a select group of talented and dedicated players, providing tournament opportunities with the goal of earning college scholarships and USTA rankings.
City Parks Foundation has been making the sport of tennis accessible to NYC kids for more than 25 years, reaching more than half a million youngsters.
