Randall’s Island is transforming into a beacon for the country’s fastest-growing sport.
Sportime Randall’s Island, one of the top tennis facilities in New York City and the flagship home of the John McEnroe Tennis Academy, is undergoing a dramatic transformation to add 12 indoor pickleball courts, The Post has learned.
McEnroe and his brother, Patrick, are involved in the project, partners with Sportime CEO Claude Okin.
Usually an outdoor sport, pickleball play has resulted in growing noise complaints across the city and limits on the time of year it can be played. The new courts will be the first indoor pickleball facility of its size in New York City.
