About Riverside Park Conservancy & the Riverside Tennis Association:

Riverside Park Conservancy (RPC) is a nonprofit organization that works in partnership with the City of New York to restore, maintain, and improve Riverside Park and its neighboring waterfront parks for all New Yorkers. Stretching for six miles along the Hudson River, the park provides essential open space, recreation, and community connection for residents of Manhattan’s West Side and beyond.

Improving the park’s resources for learning and playing tennis is a signature component of this vision and has historically been a key focus of Riverside Park Conservancy. The public red clay tennis courts at 96th Street (Oscar Hijuelos Clay Courts), along with the 119th Street and Fort Washington courts, provide high-quality, affordable tennis in a beloved neighborhood park setting. Tennis in Riverside Park is more than a sport—it is a gateway to active living, social connection, and community stewardship.

The Riverside Tennis Association (RTA) is a volunteer advisory group of community members, players, and stakeholders who work in partnership with Riverside Park Conservancy to help shape the vision, priorities, and community engagement strategies for tennis in the park.

Position Overview:

A new role, the Director of Riverside Tennis is a full-time, year-round position within Riverside Park Conservancy. The Director will be responsible for the overall leadership, strategy and management of activities and operations at the Oscar Hijuelos Red Clay Courts at 96th Street, and to a lesser extent the hard tennis courts at 119 th Street and Fort Washington Park at 172 nd Street.

Operating primarily out of new mobile office space at the 96 th Street location during the tennis season, the Director will oversee all tennis programming (youth, adult, camps, community events), player experience and community engagement related to tennis.

The Director reports to the President & CEO of Riverside Park Conservancy and partners closely with the RTA Steering Committee, as well as RPC’s Operations, Finance, Development, Volunteer, Communications, and Programming teams.
