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.
