Play. Learn. Socialize.

HQ Tennis provides clinics, private lessons, special events, and a junior tennis team. Based at the Linden Park Tennis Courts in East New York, we bring Brooklyn together through tennis—creating opportunities to play, improve, connect, and build lasting community.

Linden Park Courts

Stanely Ave & Vermont St, off of Linden Blvd, Brooklyn, NY 11207​

These tennis courts are first-come, first served. There is no experience required to play here. You may play singles or doubles for up to one hour. If there are other players waiting for a court, you must leave after the time to which you are entitled.

Coach Frances Nadine Ferdinand, is the founder and director of HQ Tennis. She is also the concessions coach for these courts allowing for HQ to organize and conduct private lessons, group classes, and special events for the community at large.

We offer programs for youth and adults of all ages. Our goal is to ensure the Linden Park Courts is a space where everyone feels welcomed to come to learn and enjoy the game of tennis. 

Tennis is a unique sport that is always evolving. By focusing on key fundamentals, coordination, agility, physical literacy, flexibility, and motor skills we can develop not only a high-quality tennis player but a high-quality athlete.
