Deets: New York City’s home for pickleball CityPickle and Wollman Park Partners announce that the country’s fastest-growing sport is returning to Wollman Rink in Central Park for its third season, beginning April 4 through early fall. In the past two seasons, the installation has drawn 130,000 participants of all ages and backgrounds. 

The 2025 season will kick off a month earlier than last year, as CityPickle and Wollman Park Partners worked closely with New York City Department of Parks & Recreation in 2024 to install, resurface and lay the foundation for 14 best-in-class courts that hibernate during the ice season. 

CityPickle at Wollman Rink is in partnership with Wollman Park Partners — a joint venture between Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, Related Companies, and Equinox — which offers an energized, year-round experience of Wollman Rink to New Yorkers and visitors alike, with an emphasis on creating a vibrant, diverse, and inclusive space promoting equitable economic opportunity in the city. To celebrate Wollman Rink’s 75th anniversary, Wollman Park Partners and CityPickle will collaborate on special events throughout the season.

Hint for the Average Socialite: Reservations will be available from 8AM-9PM. beginning one week before opening day on April 4 (with ongoing reservations opening seven days in advance).  Courts can be reserved for up to eight players, starting at $10 per player during off-peak times and $15 per player during peak hours. People can play in many different ways, and CityPickle offers a variety of programming options including group clinics, private coaching lessons, open play, and leagues to accommodate all schedules and experience levels.

The goal of CityPickle at Wollman Rink is to make pickleball accessible to as many people as possible offering 182 hours of daily play, with pricing options for all New Yorkers. CityPickle and Wollman Park Partners commit to six court hours of Community Play a day at $5 per person, which includes a free CityPickle x JOOLA paddle rental. To ensure free access to pickleball, CityPickle will continue to prioritize robust nonprofit programming.
