Gertrude Ederle Recreation Center

Court Details

About this court

At 232 West 60th Street in Manhattan, NY, Gertrude Ederle Recreation Center brings pickleball to the heart of the Upper West Side through a membership-based model that stands out for its affordability. The single indoor court is maintained in good condition and is available during open play sessions held on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings. Weekly hours run Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with the facility closed on Sundays. Membership fees are structured to be accessible: adults over 62 pay just $25 per year, while adults under 62 pay $150 annually or $75 for a six-month term, and children can join for $25 per year. Each membership extends to 34 New York City facilities and includes all classes — a scope of access that players note competes favorably with the monthly cost of a single high-end Manhattan gym. The center holds a 4.2 rating across 297 Google reviews, with visitors frequently highlighting the facility's overall value. Beyond pickleball, Gertrude Ederle is a fully equipped multi-sport destination in the United States' most densely populated borough. Amenities include a pool, fitness center, locker rooms, and showers, and the facility is both ADA accessible and kid friendly. Reviews offer mixed sentiment around staff interactions, though many players appreciate the clean environment and the breadth of programming available under one low annual fee. For pickleball enthusiasts seeking reliable indoor court time in Manhattan without premium pricing, this recreation center represents a practical, community-rooted option.
