Managed by the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation, this 3.53-acre public space supports several kinds of outdoor activity. Basketball and handball facilities give players room for court games. Play areas serve younger visitors, while spray showers add a cooling option. Public restrooms are available on site. Entry is free. The park is open every day from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM in the Bronx.
Baisley Park Match Notes
Four outdoor hard courts at 155th St. and 118th Ave. host seasonal tennis play in Queens. The courts are open daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. The playing season runs from April 1 until the Sunday before Thanksgiving. A tennis permit is required during the season. Each court allows six balls. Players are expected to wear smooth-sole tennis shoes on court to protect the playing surface during games.
Fields, Trails, and Wildlife
At 109 acres, Baisley Pond Park brings sports areas and paths into a Queens setting. Soccer, football, baseball, and cricket facilities support organized play, with tennis, handball, and basketball courts adding court options. Paths accommodate running, biking, and rollerblading. The grounds function as an urban natural habitat for observing local plant and animal life. A mastodon sculpture marks a prehistoric find. Playgrounds and public restrooms add practical stops. Daily access runs from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
