Prospect Park Tennis Center

Prospect Park Tennis Center is a great place to play tennis in Brooklyn. The center has 12 courts, including 10 Har-Tru and 2 hard courts. The Har-Tru courts are forgiving and make for longer rallies, while the hard courts are faster and more challenging. The center also has a clubhouse with a pro shop, locker rooms, and a cafe. Reservations can be made online or at the desk. Overall, Prospect Park Tennis Center is a great place to play tennis, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro. Here are some of the pros and cons of Prospect Park Tennis Center: Pros: - Great variety of courts - Clubhouse with pro shop, locker rooms, and cafe - Reservations can be made online or at the desk - Affordable prices Cons: - Can be crowded during peak hours - Some courts may be in need of maintenance Overall, I would highly recommend Prospect Park Tennis Center to anyone looking for a great place to play tennis in Brooklyn.

I went here for a late night 10pm match to let out some steam plus work out and I had the time of my life. The price is reasonable especially since I have my own equipment. Currently they require you to wear masks upon entry but you can take it off while playing and/or on the indoor courts. Once on the court the indoor dome has dirt or mold-looking material on the roof of it. Otherwise the courts are spacious, clean and decent. May 5th 2021 onward the courts will outdoors. Yay I can’t wait!

The Prospect Park and the Tennis Center it was is very nice , area with the large lake , wow , near the park is amazing . Tennis Center is professional staff and helpful.

Great supportive beginner group classes on a lovely court. I would also like to highlight Veronica at the front desk..she's extremely patient and kind. I've had some technical difficulties with the website which I think could benefit from a lil update and she's been such a big help. It's always pleasant speaking with her and seeing her at the front desk.

I've been playing here for many years The courts are pretty good and I like working with the pro staff. Came in for a lesson today 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM, broad daylight, locked my electric scooter outside. Come back at 4:00 PM. The scooter was stolen. Spoke to my coach later, he said his bicycle was stolen from the same place some time in the past. Seems like this is a frequent occurrence. The bike racks are literally 20 feet from the entrance. Can't they put up sign outside "Bikes are not safe here". Seems like they have zero regard for the patrons

Given how much they're charging per hour, it would be nice if the courts were better maintained. The clay har-tru courts were uneven in places and it made things pretty miserable. If it were $20/hour or something that would be one thing, but at peak times they charge over $70/hour to play on a bumpy court Edit: 2 years later nothing has improved

We were told to come in 3 hours later after we already had arrived, because it had rained the night before, and the "courts weren't ready". However, the ground didn't look wet at all. The courts looked fine. So we had to find something else to do all morning. Crazy.

I wouldn't take adult classes here. I have had two instructors and one made me feel unwelcome and the other one was just feeding us balls giving no feedback whatsoever. First instructor let me hit a couple of balls and just told me to go to a lower level class. No attempt to teach or provide meaningful feedback. Seems like she was only interested in students she already knew. The second instructor was difficult to understand and provided absolutely zero feedback. Just kept feeding us balls and setting up drills and games which were fun. On the plus side the classes are small 3 people typically and relatively cheap. The courts themselves were good.

Overall, there are a variety of clay and hard courts as well as a two story clubhouse with vending machines, water fountains, rackets to borrow while playing, locker rooms and TVs, however their maintenance of the courts and hiring of coaches aren't always excellent. Nonetheless, this is a great place to put your children/yourself for lessons or to practice.

Been playing here since I was a kid. Location is great. The courts are in good condition. The winter bubble makes it easier to play tennis when it's rainy or snowy. You can choose either clay or hard courts. Don't think I've had a negative experience.
