The
USTA National
 Tennis
Center is the largest public tennis facility in
the world. Operated by the USTA for the City of
New York, the facility opened in 1978 when the
USTA moved the US Open from the West Side
Tennis Club in Forest Hills, NY.
The USTA National Tennis Center includes 33
outdoor courts – not including Arthur Ashe
Stadium, Louis Armstrong Stadium or the
Grandstand courts – and nine indoor courts,
which are available for year-round use by the
public. There are 22 field courts located
within the gates of the tennis center, and 11
additional courts built by the USTA at Flushing
Meadows-Corona Park, which is adjacent to the
main entrance. These 11 courts are run by the
New York City Parks Department and are used as
practice courts during the US Open.Although
the USTA National Tennis Center is best known
as the home of the US Open, a number of other
exciting events are held at the facility each
year. Tournaments include the Eastern
Wheelchair Tennis Championships, the Mayor's
Cup Scholastic Championships, the USTA Zone
Team Championships for players’ 12-and-under,
the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference
championships for men and women, the USTA
National Open Indoor Championships, the "Turn
Back The Clock" (wood racquets only) tournament
and a host of USTA Eastern sectional
tournaments for juniors, adults and seniors.
The USTA National Tennis Center professional
staff also conducts community tennis programs,
summer tennis camps, group and private lessons
and USTA programs, such as USA League Tennis,
USA Team Tennis and USA Tennis 1-2-3.
The USTA National Tennis Center is open to the
public seven days a week, 11 months a year and
closes only on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New
Year’s Day.
