"The rise in tennis permits not only reflects the popularity of the sport in our city, but highlights NYC Parks' commitment to providing accessible and well-maintained courts," Seidner said. "We look forward to seeing even more tennis enthusiasts on our courts next year, staying active and keeping fit throughout the tennis season."
Sales of tennis permits have been rising steadily since the pandemic-enforced shutdown in 2020, increasing sharply from 18,476 in 2021 to a projected 20,000 in 2024.
NYC Parks Department officials noted that they completed several projects in 2024 to enhance accessibility to tennis courts, including court reconstruction and new coatings.
