The Carl Schurz Park setting
Carl Schurz Park has long served the Upper East Side as the primary waterfront green space east of Central Park. Pickleball courts have been added to the park's tennis and basketball facilities to meet growing player demand.
UWS pickleball access pattern
The courts operate on the standard NYC Parks open-access model during park hours. Peak times mirror the citywide pattern: weekend mornings and weekday evenings.
Court conditions
East River breezes provide cooling during summer and crosswind challenges during play. Courts are typically converted from existing tennis or hard-court surfaces.
Getting to 13 Gracie Square
