Courts, Communities, and Competition
Public park tennis, indoor clay and hard courts, lessons, leagues, and local hitting partners in Huntington, New York.
Researched September 30, 2026. This guide includes nearby communities within the Town of Huntington and identifies courts outside Huntington village. Confirm availability, fees, and lighting hours before traveling.
The town court list (huntingtonny.gov) identifies parks and lighting, but gives no general individual booking rule or fee schedule. Ask about walk-on play, visitor access, lesson use, and evening lights. Group event permits are a separate matter from an ordinary game.
Join an ability based clinic or ladder at Park Avenue Tennis (parkavetennis.com), or ask Huntington Indoor Tennis (huntington-indoor-tennis.com) about Total Tennis and its leagues. For matches you schedule yourself, USTA Eastern Flex (usta.com) groups opponents by ability and offers local hitting partner search. Share your NTRP level, preferred format, court, and times.
Contact Huntington Indoor Tennis before arrival and ask for a single Total Tennis opening or a suitable clinic. Its published Winter 2026 schedule (huntingtonindoortennis.net) offered single plays subject to space. Also search Huntington and nearby Suffolk County players in the USTA Flex app (usta.com). A season long league may be a poor fit for a seven day visit.
Book hourly time ahead at Huntington Indoor Tennis (huntington-indoor-tennis.com) or Park Avenue Tennis (parkavetennis.com); neither advertises a membership requirement. Use Heckscher Park for an outdoor opportunity after checking current town rules. Private country clubs are membership based and are not dependable short stay booking options.
Both indoor clubs offer private instruction and clinics. Park Avenue (parkavetennis.com) lists a private half hour at $90 and a semi private half hour at $50 per person. Huntington Indoor Tennis’s posted lesson page (huntingtonindoortennis.net) lists $85 per half hour; request a current quote for its newer 2026–27 programming. The town lesson interest form (huntingtonny.gov) goes to its tennis coordinator. Call 631-351-3089 for current sessions and prices.
At 2.0, start with a beginner clinic and ask the coach for rally partners. At 2.5–3.0, try a level matched group session or doubles ladder. At 3.0–4.0, look into club leagues and USTA Eastern leagues (usta.com). Players without a USTA rating can self rate. Give an honest estimate of your level; a short hit can help confirm a good match.
Three distinct games sit close together: an outdoor park court near the village arts district, indoor clay beside the LIRR station, and indoor hard courts across town.
The wider town adds outdoor courts in Huntington Station, Dix Hills, Commack, Greenlawn, East Northport, and Melville. For a seven day trip, contact a club with your dates and NTRP level before you arrive, reserve an indoor weather backup, and ask for a clinic opening or player introduction. Community organizers can also contact the USTA Eastern Long Island Region (usta.com).
Start with the park closest to your plans, or reserve an indoor court when the weather matters.
The town tennis inventory (huntingtonny.gov) names these 13 parks. Locations follow its park directions (huntingtonny.gov). “Count unlisted” and “surface unlisted” mean the town did not verify those details.

East 5th Street between Park Avenue and Lenox Road, Huntington Station. Two outdoor courts; surface unlisted.

Public court access and pricing: Town pages do not establish a general hourly fee, a seven day reservation window, or a blanket first come rule for individual play. Call 631-351-3089 before relying on any of those assumptions. The town’s Heckscher group use application concerns organized events and does not automatically apply to a casual singles match.

USTA Eastern Long Island (usta.com) serves Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Adult leagues sort play by age and NTRP level; new players may self rate. Adult league coordinator Milly Keighery can be reached at keighery@eastern.usta.com or 914-351-0442.
USTA Flex (usta.com) supports self scheduled Long Island matches and, as of 2026, local hitting partner discovery.
Park Avenue’s posted league page (parkavetennis.com) describes 15 week, ability based leagues with individual or partner entry. It displays women’s singles at 3.0–3.5, men’s doubles at 3.0–4.0, ladders, and mixed doubles nights. Displayed prices range from $495 to $625, with a $200 placement deposit; ask which season those figures cover.
Huntington Indoor Tennis (huntington-indoor-tennis.com) also advertises leagues and clinics. For less structured play, join a clinic and ask its director to connect players who want extra rallies at public courts.
To form a team or public event, contact the USTA Long Island coordinator for formats and the town Parks & Recreation office (huntingtonny.gov) for any necessary group court approval.
Confirm the exact park and whether its courts are shared with another sport before advertising a session.
Private and semi private lessons, adult clinics, junior development, and level based Total Tennis. Its Winter 2026 clinic page (huntingtonindoortennis.net) listed $495 for a one hour format and $630 for a 90 minute format over 15 weeks; those are season specific examples. The newer 2026–27 page (huntington-indoor-tennis.com) invites new bookings. Ask for an assessment and current price.
Private, semi private, and group clinics (parkavetennis.com) for adults and juniors. Its posted private rate is $90 per half hour; a semi private lesson is $50 per person per half hour. Players can sign up alone and request clinic placement.
The private lesson interest form (huntingtonny.gov) accepts a desired location and number of lessons. The town also describes adult and youth recreation tennis, but a current 2026–27 class price was not verified. Call 631-351-3089.
Jim Flores and assistant coach Jack Flores (florestennis.com) advertise personal coaching for beginner and intermediate players. Contact: 198 New York Avenue, Huntington; 631-790-7394. Confirm the lesson court when booking.
Huntington’s specialist racquet shop offers tennis equipment, demos, stringing, regripping, and customization. Its pickup and mail-in pages (solowsports.com) list 347A Main Street, Huntington, NY 11743 and 347-915-5695. Text before visiting.
The shop advertises mail-in stringing at $30 plus the cost of string; confirm walk-in price and turnaround directly. A USTA National Tennis Center page (ntc.usta.com) prints “37A Main Street,” so use the shop’s own address.
Park Avenue Tennis (parkavetennis.com) says it has a stringing room; ask the desk whether customer stringing is currently available.
String It Up at 41 Stewart Avenue is a lacrosse stick stringing business (stringitup.com) and is not a verified tennis racquet stringing option.
Huntington player Jack Kennedy won the 2025 US Open junior boys’ doubles title with Keaton Hance, according to USTA Eastern (usta.com).
Recreational players have also reached national level. USTA Eastern’s 2026 results (usta.com) name Huntington’s Sean Tuthill as the 40 & Over 4.0 men’s singles champion and Kelley Gittler as part of the 55 & Over 3.0 women’s doubles championship team.
