Update on Pickleball at SPORTIME Randall’s Island

Dear SPORTIME Randall’s Island Members and Associates:  

We are writing to share an update regarding pickleball at SPORTIME Randall’s Island. While Pickleball was not part of our original expansion plan, as the excitement and energy for the sport spread across the country and New York City, we were inspired to bring it the club in the hopes that a substantial group of pickleball players would make our state-of-the-art facility their place to play, learn and connect with one another. However, we have closely monitored participation and court usage, and while interest remains strong among a dedicated group of players, overall demand has not reached the level of participation needed to sustainably support offering pickleball at SPORTIME Randall’s island.

Accordingly, while SPORTIME’s overall commitment to pickleball has not wavered - we currently operate 142 indoor and outdoor pickleball courts with more to come - we have made the difficult decision to transition away from pickleball at SPORTIME Randall’s Island. No changes will take place before January 4, 2026, and potentially a few weeks thereafter, and pickleball court rentals and programming will continue until then. We will keep you posted, and in the coming days we will share an announcement about our plans for the current pickleball space.

Again, this change applies only to pickleball at our Randall’s Island location. Pickleball continues to thrive at other SPORTIME clubs, including Englewood, Wayne, Westbury, Port Washington, Lake Isle, Harbor Island and Armonk (opening in 2026), all of which welcome Randall’s Island members. Your membership is valid at these locations and at any other SPORTIME Pickleball facility, so no action is needed to continue playing.

If you have any questions or concerns, a dedicated member of our team is happy to assist. We can be reached by email at helpnyc@sportimeny.com or by text at 212-915-9330.

We want to thank you for being part of pickleball at SPORTIME Randall’s Island, and we hope that you will continue playing and connecting with us across the SPORTIME network.

Sincerely,

The SPORTIME Randall’s Island Team
