Brooklyn Bridge Park - Pier 6 - Beach Volleyball Courts

If you're looking for food, don’t miss out on the nearby vendors. I found a really good taco stand that was perfect after a game. Plus, it's cheaper than the sit-down places!

I recommend arriving around 9 AM to snag a good spot on the sand. It gets packed quickly, especially on weekends. Early birds definitely get the best courts!

Pro tip: wear sunscreen and a hat! The sun can be brutal, even if it seems cloudy. I got burned my first day because I underestimated the rays.

I suggest checking the local schedule for tournaments before you go. They can really pack the courts and you might end up waiting. Trust me, it made things aannoying for me when I couldn't get a spot.
Consider joining a local Facebook group or forum for volleyball enthusiasts before your visit. They often share tips on the best times to go and even spot deals on league fees, which helped me save some cash.

I think it's a good idea to bring extra water bottles. There aren't many places to refill, and you'll definitely need to stay hydrated after a game.

i suggest bringing your own ball; it can get kind of pricey to rent one. plus, you'll have control over how the game's played. don't forget sunscreen, too!

I recommend hitting the courts around 4 PM. That's when the sun starts to cool off and there's usually fewer kids running around, making it more chill.

If you’re not a pro yet, consider playing with other newbies or go for a lesson. I think it really helped me find my groove without feeling stressed!
Central Park Volleyball Courts

Check the weather before you go. The courts can get muddy and unplayable after a rain, and trust me, no one wants to slip in the sand.

Bring your own volleyball! It's way more cost-effective since rentals can be a bit pricey and sometimes, they run out. Plus, your ball is likely to be better quality.
Southwest Athletic Center

I suggest arriving around 30 mins before the event. This way, you’ve got time to find parking and grab a good seat. I ended up sitting pretty far back because I didn’t plan ahead!
