​Now celebrating our 41st season at Wagner Junior High School, the East Side Tennis Association (ESTA) is proud to be part of a long-standing community tennis tradition on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.​ 

 

In 1985, four full regulation outdoor courts and associated facilities were installed by New York Junior Tennis & Learning to provide free youth tennis programs for the community from April through October. These programs continue to serve local youth and remain central to our mission.​

 

When free youth programming is not in session, ESTA manages court access for members and the public. Select hours are also reserved for instructional programs offered on a fee basis. These fees help cover court maintenance and administrative costs, while also generating meaningful support for the Wagner JHS Parent Association’s educational enrichment programs.​

​

Today, ESTA features:​

• 4 full-size outdoor tennis courts

• 2 Red Ball (10 & Under) courts

• 2 pickleball courts

​

​We welcome players of all levels, from beginners picking up a racquet for the first time to advanced competitors. Whether you join on your own or with friends or family, you’ll find a friendly, inclusive tennis community and plenty of opportunities to play.
