Riverside Park Pickleball Courts are located within Riverside Park on the Upper West Side, near West 106th Street. The exact court block sits at Plus Code R24H+6VG in Manhattan ZIP 10025. The location is one of Manhattan's growing roster of converted park courts adapted from older tennis or handball use.
UWS public-park pickleball context
Riverside Park spans 4 miles along the Hudson from West 72nd Street to West 158th. Pickleball lines on shared courts run alongside the park's tennis and basketball facilities. NYC Parks manages access on first-come, first-served basis during park hours.
How shared lines work
When pickleball lines are painted over tennis-court surfaces, four pickleball courts typically fit within a single tennis court footprint. Players bring their own nets (portable nets are standard for shared-line courts) and adjust to the actual layout.
Visiting practical notes
The courts have no permit system — show up, wait if courts are full, play in turn. Peak times are weekend mornings and weekday evenings. The Hudson River breeze can affect light pickleball play; experienced players bring extra balls.
Getting to the courts
The closest subway is the 103rd Street 1 train; the courts are about 8 minutes downhill from Broadway. Riverside Drive parking is metered with strict time limits.
