Pickleball
The fun and inclusive St. Vartan Park pickleball community uses courts on either side of the handball wall on Second Avenue between East 35th Street and East 36th Street. The courts are also used for handball matches.

Equipment Storage
In August 2023, with an assist from the park’s pickleball community, St. Vartan Park Conservancy added a stocked sports equipment storage chest next to the pickleball courts. The equipment is free to use for play within the park.
Previously, many of the park’s pickleball players had to lug kits with nets and stanchions, paddles and other equipment to the park from blocks away.
Inclusive and equitable access to the locked chest is being managed by the Conservancy.
