A Farewell to SPORTIME Hempstead Lake
As of October 31, 2026, SPORTIME no longer manages the tennis and pickleball courts at Hempstead Lake State Park.
After five seasons operating the tennis and pickleball facility at Hempstead Lake, SPORTIME has decided not to pursue an extension to our contract with New York State, and the just completed season will be our final one. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, operating the facility has not proven to be a profitable business for us.
We are grateful to New York State for having selected us for the opportunity to improve and manage this beautiful and historic facility. Our efforts included the renovation of the red clay tennis courts and the men’s and women’s locker rooms and welcome center, and we are glad to leave the facility in excellent condition.
Most importantly, we appreciate all of the players who have become members of the extended SPORTIME community over the past five years. Thank you for your participation, friendship, and support!
