About this court
Tucked into the Lower East Side of NYC, NY, Lillian D. Wald Playground at 200 Monroe Street offers 4 free, publicly accessible outdoor pickleball courts that are open every day of the week from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The courts are rated in good condition and carry a 4.1 Google rating from 44 reviews — a reflection of a well-maintained neighborhood facility that draws a consistent, community-oriented crowd. The playground is built around a rich local identity: players note the unique themed playground equipment inspired by the visiting nurses Lillian Wald championed, and the multi-sport layout accommodates basketball, handball, and volleyball alongside pickleball. The grounds include a picnic area, water access, spectator seating, and space for food and drinks, making it a practical destination for families and longer sessions. Visitors mention the courts have hosted tournaments and lively celebration events, with park staff drawing praise for keeping the space clean and organized.
