Court Details

About this court

Situated at 41st Street and 1st Avenue in Manhattan, NY, Robert Moses Park brings free public pickleball to Midtown East across 6 outdoor courts in good condition. Rated 4.2 out of 5 across 163 Google reviews, the park holds its own as a reliable, no-cost option in one of New York City's busiest neighborhoods. Courts are open every day of the week from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and organized pickleball sessions are scheduled Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM through August 18th — all free of charge. The park is a multi-sport facility with a dog run, clean restrooms, and easy transit access via the #42 crosstown bus, which stops directly in front of the courts. Players note the park is well maintained and draws a steady crowd, with the surrounding green space popular for soccer as well. Visitors also mention the distinctive setting alongside the East River with views toward the UN Headquarters adding an unexpected backdrop to a casual game. Named for influential urban planner Robert Moses, the park sits within a broader riverside green space that United States players and locals alike appreciate for its quiet pockets amid Midtown's energy. One note worth keeping in mind: some visitors have reported finding the courts locked during posted hours, so reaching contact Jim Geary at 203-415-8343 ahead of a visit can help confirm availability, especially for organized play days.
