Hudson River Park’s three hardcourt tennis courts are free and open to the public from 6:00 AM–1:00 AM. The tennis courts operate on a first come, first served basis, and permits are not required for regular play. Regular play time is limited to one hour when others are waiting, to accommodate as many players as possible. From time to time, schools may be playing on the courts.
