Why this exists

NYC Parks releases court reservations in one batch, a few weeks out. The moment the window opens, every good morning slot at every popular park gets grabbed almost instantly.

By the time you've loaded the page, picked your park, and clicked in — it's gone. Sitting there refreshing at the right minute isn't a plan, it's a part-time job.

CourtWatch does the watching. You tell it the park, the date, and the time you want — it checks in the background and lets you know the instant something opens.
