Acrylic Hard Courts
Every year, just prior to the U.S. Open, a new formula is created and every court receives a new re-coat of the final three steps. Every few years a court will get stripped down to the asphalt to eliminate the buildup of coating product.
New York
The “City that never sleeps” - the experience of a lifetime as you immerse yourself in the extravagance of the Big Apple. From the glitz and glamour of Fifth Avenue, the vibrancy of Times Square and the skyscrapers of Manhattan, you can be part of Hollywood’s most famous movie set. New York is the most ethnically diverse, religiously varied, commercially driven, famously congested and in the eyes of many, the most attractive urban center in the world.
