I use this facility to play pickleball. Most use it to play tennis. Note that I have been to this facility about 10 times as per the address but I know it as the Alley Pond Tennis Center and is operated by Common Point Queens. The facility doesn't have the best lighting in the world and in the winter it is not well heated. On one day when it was 7 degrees outside, the inside was only 46 degrees when I arrived around 9AM and went up to 49 an hour and a half later according to my thermometer. On a relatively warm day in the winter (around 55 outside) it got as high as 62 on the court.
In addition to less than optimal temperatures and lighting, the courts are often dusty and dirty though management did surprise me recently by running a sweeping/vacuuming machine over the courts before a recent tournament which was helpful. Notwithstanding the aforementioned shortcomings, I have given it three stars as at least the management price court time lower than the nicer facilities like Pickleball Plus so this facility does serve a purpose and is conveniently located to a densely populated area. I'm glad it's around. read more
