My favorite tennis club and life music stadium!!!
The West Side Tennis Club, America’s most historic and iconic showcase for tennis. The club has been the site of some of the sport’s most memorable moments. It hosted what is now known as the US Open Grand Slam tournament for over 60 years before it was moved to the National Tennis Center in Flushing, NY in 1978. Here at The West Side Tennis Club, we celebrate our club’s rich tradition of excellence while providing training and game arranging for all levels of play.
The historic 14,000 seat Forest Hills Stadium, located at The West Side Tennis Club, has also once again become one of New York’s top venues for concerts and entertainment.

Neighborhoods
Forest Hills Gardens was one of the United States' first planned communities, and strict covenants have allowed it to retain the original look and feel of the community that began development in 1909, under the hands of architect Grosvenor Atterbury and landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted Jr.
The spectacular Forest Hills Gardens is truly unique in all of New York City. The graceful Tudor homes, along magnificent tree-lined boulevards and streets, hold and have held some of the city’s most distinguished residents.
The Gardens, as they are known locally in Forest Hills, are bordered by an equally magnificent shopping district, Austin Street. If you were to examine a map, you would see that the shops of Austin Street are literally just one block away from the entrance to the Gardens

Golf Course
Only 10 minutes away!!!
Forest Park Golf Course is located in Woodhaven, Queens. It is just off the Jackie Robinson Parkway. Originally designed by Tom Bendelo in 1896, it was redesigned by Stephen Kay in 1995. In addition to approximately two million dollars of course renovations, a completely new clubhouse was also built. The renovation included a significant lengthening of the course; it now plays at over 6,000 yards. This course, with its tree-lined fairways, elevated greens, and three water holes is a favorite of many NYC golfers.
