Ocean City Racquet Center
The Racquet Center offers Town tennis and pickleball courts midtown, good when someone wants a workout off the beach. Programs, fees, and court availability are on the official Town page.
The Racquet Center is a Recreation & Parks facility, not a private club listing. Use this page to decide whether courts fit your lodging area and week; use the Town of Ocean City’s Racquet Center page for amenities, fees, junior/adult programs, and current open-play notes.
Planning a court block
Midtown sessions are easier when you are already north of the Inlet crush. Bring water, sunscreen, and a backup indoor plan if thunderstorms scrub the afternoon—court surfaces and lightning holds follow the same coastal weather reality as the beach.

Racquet Center FAQs
- Where is the Ocean City Racquet Center?
- Town materials locate the Racquet Center on 61st Street bayside—handy for midtown lodging and a short hop from the Route 90 corridor. Confirm directions and parking notes on the official Town Racquet Center page before you drive.
- Is this the same as regulation golf?
- No. Tennis and pickleball live here; 18-hole course guides and drive-time tables sit on the golf hub. Plan them as different half-days so you do not stack a westbound tee time against a court reservation.
- Can visitors book lessons or open play in summer?
- Town Recreation & Parks publishes seasonal programs, clinics, and open-play availability—often densest mid-May through September. Treat the official amenities and fees page as current; this site does not take reservations.
- What else pairs well with a court morning?
- Shade, water, and an early lunch beat trying to squeeze ocean swimming, Coastal Highway errands, and a late court block into one overheated afternoon. Parks & recreation and sports hubs cover the wider active-day mix.
