Why this page exists
If you fly into JFK for work, a tournament, or a layover and you want to play, this is the shortest path from the gate to a paddle. The list pulls from our directory, ranks by distance, and surfaces both indoor and outdoor options so the weather doesn't kill the plan.
Each court page links open-play schedules, addresses, and a "Get directions" button that drops you straight into Google or Apple Maps. If a venue's missing, submit it and we'll add it.
For the broader area, browse the full courts directory, or open the weather-aware finder to filter by current conditions.
