Hudson River Park Pickleball on West 33rd: Chelsea-edge pickleball courts

Hudson River Park Pickleball Courts are located at 12 West 33rd Street, New York, NY 10001, on Hudson River Park's piers and adjacent green space. The Chelsea-edge location places the courts within walking distance of Hudson Yards, the Garment District, and the High Line.

The Hudson River Park system

Hudson River Park manages 4.5 miles of waterfront between Battery Park and West 59th Street. Pickleball facilities are distributed across multiple pier locations. The 33rd Street area courts are among the most accessible from midtown south.

Court conditions

Waterfront wind affects pickleball play more than tennis. Players at exposed courts adapt by adjusting shot height and serve velocity. The compensating advantage is cooler temperatures during summer afternoons.

Calling and access

Hudson River Park courts are generally open access during park hours, with no advance permit. Peak weekend hours can produce wait times for popular court blocks.

Getting to West 33rd Street courts

The closest subway is the 34th Street-Hudson Yards 7 train, about a 6-minute walk west. The courts are also accessible from the High Line via the West 30th Street access ramp.
