New York City is the world’s center for a lot of things. Now it can add pickleball to the list.
The largest pickleball installation in the Northeast is now open at Wollman Rink. The rink has been converted into 14 Pickleball courts offering 196 hours of play a day, according to CityPickle, which is running the installation. Hours of operation are 7 a.m.to 9 p.m. daily. The installation stays through Oct. 9.
