A Park, A River, and Red-Clay Tennis Courts
Riverside Park from Roger Cox’s Perspective

“Where do you play on red clay?” I’m often asked by people who have noticed the rusty, salmony cast to my originally white tennis shoes. The answer tends to provoke disbelief: “In Riverside Park in New York City,” I tell them.

🎾 Those of us who play tennis in New York City are lucky to have hundreds of public courts in parks across all five boroughs.

💯 But those in Riverside Park stand out: not only are these the only public red-clay courts in the city, but these are also the most picturesquely set.

The Tryall Club, Montego Bay, St. James, Jamaica

🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾 ”I am a 4-4.5 USTA rated player. My wife is a 4.5. We are always looking for good winter tennis opportunities. We have been to several tennis resorts…and all of them were good…but Tryall was heads and shoulders above the other places we have visited. Perfect weather/conditions, great staff, someone always available for quality hitting or games, pairing with guests is also available. No question…the best tennis vacation we have ever had.”

Rosewood Little Dix Bay, Virgin Gorda, Spanish Town, British Virgin Islands

🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾 "The facilities are beautiful and the tennis pro, Leon, is patient enough for beginners yet challenging enough for the most advanced players! Our whole family enjoyed the tennis program – lessons, matches, and just playing on our own on a lazy afternoon.”
