An outdoor steel-walled court opened by Maspeth Squash in Queens in June 2020, supporting workplace, educational and community experiences.
Delivered referenceReviewed
Maspeth Squash says Jeff Anschlowar and Robert Gibralter developed the steel-court idea as an educational project, completed the court in the company’s backyard after the 2020 shutdowns, and opened it in June 2020. Squash Dog did not design, fund or deliver this project.

An industrial setting, a new court form
Maspeth Squash traces the court’s origins to a 2019 design project. It was completed in the company’s backyard after the 2020 shutdowns and opened in June 2020. The host describes it as the first outdoor steel-walled squash court.
Access through a local host
The venue offers bookings, lessons and group outings through its own channels. This is a hosted industrial-yard venue, not a free public-park court; check current booking terms and access arrangements directly with Maspeth Squash.
Learning, community and play
Maspeth Squash reports educational visits from school and university squash programmes and community organisations, alongside staff, players and touring professionals. These are host-reported examples, not independently measured participation outcomes.
What Let’s Bounce can learn
A locally invested host can combine court use with education, group visits and events. A similar project would need to match the court type, operating model and access arrangements to its audience and site.
