Tennis Court 6
About
On a quiet stretch of 218th Street, where Washington Heights softens into leafy side streets, you’ll find the only dedicated tennis facility in the block. Tennis Court 6 occupies the pavement-level courts behind the brick row houses at 575 West 218th. Public play, league nights, and junior clinics all share the same light-blue baselines and chain-link fence backdrop. Court hire runs seven days, split into early morning, noon-hour, and late-evening slots so the clay surface sees use around the clock. Ball machines wait near the entry gate for solo drills, and a pro-shop dispenser sells last-minute cans of high-pressure tennis balls. Players can reserve online or simply pay the kiosk—six matches fit neatly onto the six courts, each numbered and lit for after-dark sessions. Need court time tonight?
