About Us
Highland Park Tennis Association (HPTA) is an all-volunteer organization founded in October 2004. Our overall goal is to create and foster a safe, friendly environment in Highland Park where tennis can be enjoyed and flourish for generations to come.
Our mission is to utilize tennis as a vehicle to promote and instill the importance of education, social responsibility, healthy lifestyle, proper nutrition, fair competition, respect, high self-esteem and strong character to the participants of our Junior Tennis Program, while providing an alternative source of recreational outlet. With our strategic programming and dedication, we hope to prepare the participants of our program to face and conquer the challenges they may face in life.
Home of Highland Park Tennis Association, Highland Park straddles the borders of Brooklyn and Queens. It is situated on a high plateau that commands dramatic views of nearby cemeteries, East New York, Woodhaven, the Rockaways, and the Atlantic Ocean. This tennis facility is one of New York City's best kept secrets... a hidden jewel.
The tennis tradition at Highland Park dates back to the early 1900's, when there were 24 red clay courts on two levels. In 1998, the courts on the upper level were converted into 13 hard courts dedicated to the first 13 colonies, where each court bears the name and seal of each colony. The lower level courts were converted into a soccer field and basketball courts.
In 2012, the Fresh Courts initiative, a partnership between the USTA and American Express, reconfigured the 13 full-size courts into 10 full-size and 8-36 foot courts for 8 and under tennis. Additionally, the 10 full size courts are marked with 60' blended lines for 10 and under tennis. This current transformation was made possible because of the dedication and efforts of the Highland Park Tennis Association's volunteers and the Junior Tennis Program.
Tennis can now be enjoyed by the entire family in this picturesque surrounding from Spring through Fall.
