Gantry Plaza State Park - Handball Courts

Lorenzo B 9 months ago

The local basketball and handball courts are honestly pretty solid, especially if you’re just looking for a place to get shots up or play casually. They’re not perfect by any means, but they do the job well. One thing you’ll notice right away is that the courts can get dusty at times.. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it can make the surface feel a little slippery until you get used to it. The basketball rims are hit or miss. Sometimes they’ve got nets, sometimes they don’t, which can be a little annoying. Still, the rims themselves are fine for practice, and most people there seem more focused on getting reps in than worrying about perfect conditions. What’s nice is how versatile the space is. You’ll see people using the area not just for basketball, but also for handball, tennis, and even pickleball, which gives it a really active, community vibe. It’s a good spot to practice, meet up with friends, or just get some exercise without needing anything fancy. Overall, it’s a good court if you’re trying to work on your game or stay active. A little dusty, sometimes missing nets, but still a reliable and useful spot for basketball, tennis, and pickleball practice.

Favorite basketball courts in NY alongside the Hunter South Point Park and Roosevelt Island courts. Me and my friends have been coming here since freshman here of high school and we’re now juniors in college, still have never frayed from having occasional hangouts here. Amazing during the summer and be noted it closes gates at sunset no matter the season.

퀸즈 프라자는 뉴욕 맨하탄 동쪽으로 이스트강 건너편에 위치한 곳 이곳은 과거에 부두가 가있고 공장들이 공단처럼 이루고 있었으나 점차 사무실 아파트들이 들어서면서 초고속으로 발전된 곳이다. 이스트 강변에는 미국 독립 기념일에 불꽃놀이 축제날 겐트리공원 을 중심으로 맨하탄을 바라보면서 불꽃놀이에 장관을 이루는 스팟으로 유명한 곳 이기도 합니다 영화 촬영지 명소로 꼽는곳 입니다 보통 깽단 영화나.멜로 영화들로 맨하탄 야경을 바라보는 영화는 보통 여기서 찍는다 교통또한 허브로서 롱 아일랜드쪽 이나 아스트라.브르클린 쪽으로 갈수 있으며 아스트라 쪽에서 전철을타고 맨하탄 쪽으로 퀸즈보로 플라자 역쪽방향으로 들어오면서 보는 맨하탄은 정말 장관입니다. 영화에서 많이본 장면이지요 뉴욕의 명소라 할수있다. W.N.7번 노선을 타면 장관을 볼수 있다.

Great place to play pickleball, would require two handball walls to fit an official pickleball court though

I was there with my granddaughter. A great place for kids above a certain age, due to safety issues. There are two very dangerous small holes that are at the south end of the park. These holes 🕳 can potentially cause serious injuries to little kids. I have called 311 and 911 to report this issue and "Have been ignored so far"!!!
