Nicol Rackets

Nicol Rackets is a racquet complex in the Riverwalk Center at 850 Oceanport Avenue in Oceanport, on the former Fort Monmouth site in Monmouth County. It combines padel with pickleball, squash, and physical therapy under one roof, plus a paddle bar. The facility is open to the public. The directory lists seven padel courts, four indoor and three outdoor. Reviewers call it a brand-new facility and praise the friendly staff, the modern look, and the bar, and one rented several courts for a group. The pickleball coach Keith gets a good mention. The one criticism is that the courts are a bit close together, and the reviewer suggests spacing them out or adding dedicated singles courts. There are 8 ratings averaging 5.0, so the sample is small. Google lists hours of 6 AM to 10 PM daily. Booking is through the website at playatnicol.com or by phone. Prices are not published on a page we could verify, so they are left blank. Parking is not confirmed. As a new facility, expect the court mix and schedule to evolve, and check the site for current open-play and rental options.
