New Tennis Courts in Hoboken? - As for new additional tennis courts here in Hoboken, there seems to be some proposals (perhaps the new Pier B park) at new locations. Of course these are years away and any construction dates seem to repeatedly slip. We don't have any info on confirmed plans. Should you have any info we'd appreciate if you could pass it to us via email. .
OUTDOOR COURTS -
HUDSON COUNTY PARKS - Five Tennis Parks with over 63 Tennis Courts -
Free Use to County Residents on a first come first serve basis. - Central Parks Office 201-915-1388 -
The Two Main County Tennis Parks have 41 Tennis Courts that were just resurfaced for the Spring 2003 season and are said to be brought up to the latest USTA recommended specifications, (Thank God for NJ State Green Acres funding) It's very exciting. Sadly, one of the exceptions to the overall great Green Acres Tennis Court quality improvements for Hudson County is our own few courts here in Hoboken at Columbus Park.
HOBOKEN - COLUMBUS PARK - County Park 10th St & Grand St -
We have only three public Tennis Courts here in Hoboken. Available for free on a first come first serve basis. Lights for evening use on till 10pm.
For Columbus Park we're sure there are many reasons as to why our Hoboken Tennis Courts could be in better shape. One of which seems to be a jurisdiction budget matter between the City of Hoboken and Hudson County, since the tennis court are partly run by the Hoboken city (one Court) and partially by Hudson County Parks Department (2 Courts) . As per some current county plans, we can only hope our local Hoboken Columbus tennis courts get fully taken over by Hudson County and then get fully refurbished with Parks funding from the NJ Green Acres programs.
There is a very active parents Playground Group at Columbus park who seems to be very committed advocate for trying to improve overall quality of the park. Maintenance Starting in April two people clean the park everyday including weekends.
These are owned & maintained by both the County and Hoboken Department Recreation & Parks - Here are the contacts should you need to reach them. If you would like to request refurbishing or additional maintenance of these tennis courts, it is best to write:
