Hi all. I just learned that the squash court at the Boulevard at 2373 Broadway (86th Street) is "American" size. Does that mean squash players will not use it? I have an "exclusive listing" to sell a terrific one bedroom in the building. Trying not to make this a commercial posting, but want to know if this would be a cool thing to have where you are living? For practice? Or just some fun games? Am I wrong to think that? There is no additional charge to use the court. Great adjacent health club, etc.  Thank you for your comments.

hi stefel

the reference to american size would be an indicator that the court was a hardball court (most americans now play the "softball" version which is played internationally (i believe that hardball has largely died out). a web search will confirm the size but i think it is 18 ft long instead of the international 20ft. squash  can still be played but length is just a bit shorter!

stefel - check out the dimensions of the court to see if it is a standard singles or doubles court.  A court could be used for other sports purposes as well, eg practice tennis.
