Court 16 Downtown Brooklyn – Tennis and Pickleball

Court 16 has only one full-size tennis court and several 3/4 sized courts, with the facility located indoors on the 4th floor of a building. Courts are noted as not full regulation size for pickleball, and narrower walls and low ceilings create challenging play conditions. The courts and facility are generally described as clean and well-maintained.

The indoor setting features well-lit courts allowing for evening play. The location within City Point offers convenient access to shopping, dining, and entertainment, enhancing the overall experience.

Booking is done via an easy-to-use app, with group classes and private lessons scheduled regularly. Some reviewers mention limited court availability due to size constraints and simultaneous programs, and that group classes can feel crowded with six players per hour-long session, which limits hitting time. Cancellation and scheduling communication is praised for being responsive.

Court 16 offers a broad range of group clinics, private, and semi-private lessons. Named coaches like Nick (director of tennis), Daniel, Jamie, Kelly, Marina, Justin, Matt, and Garrett receive high praise for their teaching skills, technical expertise, positivity, and ability to engage players of all levels. Coaching includes focused technique, footwork, and strategy with personalized feedback.

Strong junior programs include weekend private lessons, summer camps, birthday party lessons, and group classes starting from toddlers as young as 3 years old. The facility caters specifically to kids with scaled courts and a family-friendly atmosphere, including events like movie nights. Parents appreciate the nurturing yet technically challenging environment and responsive scheduling staff.

The community is described as friendly and welcoming to all ages and skill levels. Parents and adult learners commend the excellent front desk staff and overall professionalism. The environment is warm, non-intimidating, and fosters networking among players.

Reviewers frequently highlight the excellent cleanliness and maintenance of the courts and restrooms, noting the facility is very well kept.

Although some find the cost of group lessons high relative to actual hitting time, most consider the coaching, facilities, and community to provide good value. Pricing details are limited, but memberships and class packs are noted as reasonably priced with occasional bonuses like free tennis rackets.
