Squibb Park

Perched above the East River waterfront in Brooklyn Heights, Squibb Park serves neighborhood tennis enthusiasts seeking open-air court time. The facility features standard outdoor hard courts set against the backdrop of Lower Manhattan and the iconic Squibb Bridge pathway leading toward Brooklyn Bridge Park. Court culture here is distinctly urban and community-driven, drawing early-morning local regulars, weekend doubles groups, and after-work singles players. As an NYC Parks property, court access during the official season operates under the city's tennis permit system, requiring seasonal passes or single-play tickets alongside standard municipal sign-in procedures during peak hours. The concrete playing surface is maintained for reliable ball bounce and steady grip, making it a dependable spot for both baseline rallying and competitive groundstroke practice. Unpretentious and utilitarian, the park is a functional sports fixture for the surrounding Dumbo and Brooklyn Heights communities.
