The US Open is in full swing, and NYC is hosting plenty of ways to celebrate the tournament, from playing a match at Rockefeller Center to NYC’s first floating tennis court. And now, a one-of-a-kind tennis experience has opened up at the Rooftop at Pier 17.

The full-sized rooftop court will be open for free play to the public on the mornings of September 7 – September 8 on a first-come, first-served basis. Whether you’re a novice or a professional, all skill levels are welcome. Plus, tennis balls and racquets will be available to borrow on-site.

“The Seaport welcomes visitors looking for exciting ways to experience one of New York’s most historic neighborhoods, including a multitude of outstanding dining and entertainment options along the waterfront. There is no better way to close out summer than picking up a racket and getting a rally going on our one-of-a-kind court,” said Abt.
