About the Park
Jackie Robinson Park offers spacious courts that kept in good condition by the local regulars. Portable nets are provided, and the court plays slightly fast, but reliably so. What is most outstanding about Jackie Robinson Park is their unofficial local pickleball organization, the Harlem Pickleball Association (HPA). Though you are free to come enjoy the courts whenever you like, the HPA has designated Open Play days to ensure you’ll find people to play with.
The HPA 2026 Open Play schedule is as follows:
Wednesday and Friday: 5-9pm
Saturday and Sunday 2-10pm
Expect these sessions to run after dark!
Park Rules
4 on 4 off system. There is a painted area right beside the court where waiting stacks are placed. Games can be played to 11, 15, or 21 at your discretion, but as the courts get busy default to 11.

What is Pickleheart?
Pickleheart is a non-profit membership collective designed to support the oft-overlooked people at the grassroots level of pickleball: the community leaders and players at the public playgrounds. We are enabling local communities to have their own web portal, stores, and a mobile app to enhance connectivity.
