New York City Sports

 The Sporting News voted NYC the Best Sports City in America in 2001 for good reason. New Yorkers are passionate about sports, both as participants and as spectators. Did you know you can go rock-climbing, sailing, kayaking, and golfing in New York City? Also see the Sporting Life, Parks, Biking. And did you know, NYC won the national bid to host the 2012 Olympics?

Participant Sports

The city's greatest sports center is the Chelsea Piers Sports & Entertainment Complex, a state-of-the-art, 30-acre athletic temple with facilities for jogging, basketball, volleyball, lacrosse, rock-climbing, swimming, golf, and much more. Golfers can swing a club at seven different courses throughout the boroughs courtesy of American Golf, the world's largest golf course management company. Bowlers try for strikes at the Bowlmor Lanes, NYC's hip bowling Mecca. Prefer gliding across the ice? Skate at Central Park's Wollman Rink or Lasker Rink, uptown. Chelsea Piers has two year-round indoor ice rinks, two outdoor roller rinks, and an extreme skate park. And of course, there's the famous rink in Rockefeller Center. Joggers and runners can contact the New York Road Runners Club for information about participating in the world-famous NYC Marathon in November or any of their many organized runs. If a 4-legged trot along a tree-lined path is more your style, Central Park is home to the Claremont Riding Academy (212/724-5100), the oldest continuously operated stable in the United States. Primarily a riding school, Claremont also hires out horses for enjoyment on the six miles of bridle paths in Central Park. If "riding" means by bicycle to you, at Central Park Bicycle Tours you can join a group, or rent a bikes by the hour and explore solo. Keep in mind that Central Park is just one of the city's vast web of 1,700 parks and playgrounds. In fact, Manhattan's famed green oasis is number five on the list of the city's ten largest parks! You can also enjoy running, jogging, in-line skating, basketball, softball, and soccer - not to mention great special events and festivals - at Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx, the Greenbelt on Staten Island, Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens, Brooklyn's Prospect Park, and many more. You can even go bird watching in New York City! Central Park and the Bronx's New York Botanical Garden offer guided bird walks, and spring in Queens brings thousands of migrating shore birds to the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Center's 10,000 acres.
