Leif Ericson Park

Located along the border of Bay Ridge and Sunset Park, the tennis courts at Leif Ericson Park provide essential outdoor playing space for southern Brooklyn's tennis community. Managed by NYC Parks, this facility features outdoor asphalt hard courts lined for regulation singles and doubles play. The atmosphere reflects the neighborhood's active public park culture, where local recreational players, high school athletes, and regulars share court time throughout the spring, summer, and fall seasons. Access follows municipal guidelines, requiring an active NYC Parks Tennis Permit during the official season from April through November. Court time is typically allocated on a walk-up, first-come, first-served basis via on-site sign-in sheets. Without commercial distractions, Leif Ericson Park delivers straightforward public tennis for players seeking reliable outdoor rallies, competitive weekend sets, and an authentic community tennis environment right off 8th Avenue.
