Stadium Tennis Center at Mill Pond Park
About
Bronx's Largest Public Tennis Facility
Stadium Tennis Center at Mill Pond Park sits along the Harlem River next to Yankee Stadium, with year-round courts that flip between indoor bubble (October-April) and outdoor (May-September). The center is a hub for South Bronx kids who otherwise have little access to tennis instruction.
Junior Tennis Programs
Coaches work with kids ages 3 through teens across three program tiers:
- Quickstart (ages 3-7) - fundamental skill-building in 1-1.5 hour sessions with foam balls and shorter racquets
- Junior Development Program (ages 6-12) - 1-2 hour sessions using orange/green ball progression
- Elite High Performance (ages 12+) - advanced tournament training with daily fitness, match play, and mental skills work
What's Included
- Court time on indoor or outdoor hard courts
- Age-appropriate equipment for Quickstart level
- Coaching from experienced staff
Experience
Players progress from learn-the-basics rallies up to tournament-level play. The center hosts USTA events and welcomes families who want their kids on the court several days a week or just once for a try-it-out lesson.
