SUNNYSIDE GARDENS PARK TENNIS COURTS
Three clay tennis courts in Sunnyside Gardens Park have
provided the community with healthy fun since their inception as part of
a members-only park in 1926. In continuous operation since then, they are
among the oldest tennis courts in Queens. The season begins in early
May and ends in late November, and the courts are open during park hours
from 10:00 AM to
sunset. The tennis club has a fee in addition to regular park
membership in order to pay for the costs of maintaining
the courts and keeping them in good condition. Because the courts are
Har-Tru, clay court tennis sneakers must be worn with a flat bottom that
contains no grooves or cleats that would dig up the surface. Membership entitles members to reserve time and play without a fee. We have members of all levels and ages from beginners to
advanced players. Non-members can take lessons or play for an hourly
rate ($40/hr per court). Our pro is Carlo Carlini. Carlo
runs tennis programs for children and offers lessons and clinics for
adults.
