Tennis and Times Square – sure why not! This Thursday, August 24, a pop-up tennis court will be available to tennis players of all levels for a free game in celebration of the US Open. Here’s more from Time Out:
Tennis players of all levels are invited to play a free game of tennis (already a rarity in Manhattan), amid the hustle and bustle of Times Square. Sponsored by waterdrop, the event aims to promote hydration, along with sports, and sustainability.
At the pop-up, players and viewers can enjoy waterdrop’s “hydration station,” which will be filled with an array of complementary “Microdrink” beverages (a flavored cube tablet) from the brand. Everyone who recycles on the court will receive a free waterdrop drink. Participation is first come, first served, with no sign-ups required.
If you’re not into tennis but can’t get Times Square out of your head maybe you should make a New Yeas Eve Ball Drop
