HOUSTON & 6TH PICKLEBALL COURTS

About

The William F. Passannante Ballfield, located at the intersection of Houston Street and 6th Avenue, is the crown jewel of West Village pickleball. With five painted asphalt courts, it's one of the most accessible spots for players in the neighborhood. The courts are free to use, but you'll need to bring your own portable net, as is common for many NYC public courts. The West Village pickleball community here is vibrant but faced challenges in the past. After a contentious struggle with the NYC Parks Department over the use of Seravalli Playground, the community relocated to Passannante Ballfield, just two blocks away. This move has solidified the ballfield as the new home for West Village pickleballers. To stay in the loop, join the TeamReach group (code: NYCPMJJW) for organized play sessions. Summer evenings are often permitted for other sports, so plan for morning or early afternoon games. For advanced players (3.5+ rating), Sunday mornings are reserved for competitive play, making it a great time to test your skills.
