A premier pickleball destination rooted in the heritage of Cape Ann — 9 world-class courts, a vibrant community, and an experience unlike anywhere else on the North Shore.
Cape Ann Pickleball Club was born from a simple conviction: pickleball is about more than the game. It's about connection, rivalry, laughter, and community — all framed by one of New England's most storied coastal backdrops.
"We didn't want another facility. We wanted a home — a place where pickleball and Cape Ann become inseparable."
Founded by a group of passionate local players and entrepreneurs, we're building something Gloucester has never seen: a world-class club that also feels like your favorite neighborhood gathering spot. From our two-building complex with 9 premium courts to the outdoor fire pit lawn and The Lighthouse Kitchen restaurant, every detail is designed to bring people together.
Premium doesn't mean exclusive. We're building for everyone — from beginners picking up a paddle for the first time to competitive 4.5+ players chasing DUPR glory. All are welcome at Cape Ann.
Two buildings. Nine courts. A full suite of amenities built for the serious player and the social enthusiast alike.
Six premium indoor courts anchor our main building — three at ground level and three on a stunning second floor with an open gallery overlooking both levels. Connected via a covered walkway, our Social Barn adds three more courts with garage-door walls that open wide to the outdoor lawn, blurring the lines between inside and out on those perfect Cape Ann days.
Three premium ground-floor courts with pro-grade surfaces, professional lighting, and clear sightlines throughout. Easy access from the entry desk, locker rooms, and restaurant.
Three elevated courts plus a full spectator gallery at court-eye-level — and an open view down to the ground floor courts below. Perfect for tournament days and social watching.
A connected secondary building with three courts in a relaxed, open-air format. Retractable garage doors bring the Cape Ann sky inside. The heartbeat of club social life.
Our on-site restaurant serves fresh, light fare — perfect for refueling between sessions. Available for private event catering, post-tournament dining, and club social nights.
A welcoming common area to unwind, connect, and watch court action from a comfortable perch. The social heartbeat of the club before and after every session.
The second-floor open seating area provides court-level viewing of the upper courts and a dramatic bird's-eye view down to the three ground-floor courts below — ideal for tournaments.
Full locker rooms with showers — because some sessions deserve it. Spacious, clean, and designed for the player who takes the game seriously.
A dedicated workout space for warm-ups, cooldowns, and pickleball-specific cross-training. Focused on mobility, agility, and recovery for the active player.
For members who fit work around their game. Dedicated desks with high-speed WiFi and charging — productive in between court sessions, zero commute required.
The Social Barn opens directly onto a beautifully landscaped outdoor area with artificial turf, multiple fire pits, and open-air seating. The quintessential Cape Ann evening awaits.
Horseshoes, bocce, cornhole — the full Social Barn lawn experience. Favorites for member events, post-tournament gatherings, and casual Saturday afternoons.
The outdoor area doubles as a private event space — summer cookouts, post-tournament parties, member socials, and corporate outings under the open Cape Ann sky.
From the casual drop-in to the dedicated competitor, we've built tiers for how you actually play. Pricing announced closer to opening — waitlist members receive founding rates.
Drop in and play with whoever shows up. Sessions organized by skill level so you're always matched with the right competition. The heartbeat of daily club life.
Structured, skill-specific sessions led by certified instructors. Dink game, third-shot drops, court strategy — purpose-built to make you a better player.
One-on-one instruction custom-tailored to your game, your goals, and your schedule. Beginners to competitive 4.5+ players. Your pace, your progress.
DUPR-rated events, fun formats, and local ladder competitions throughout the year. Compete for bragging rights, hardware, and Cape Ann glory.
Member mixers, themed nights, charity events, glow pickleball, sunset socials, fire pit evenings — we're building a community calendar worth showing up for.
Seasonal leagues for all skill levels — round-robin, doubles, mixed format. Play consistently, track your growth, and build the rivalries that make a club feel like home.
Gloucester gave us the lighthouse, the fisherman, and the sea. We built a club worthy of that legacy.
Gloucester's fishing heritage, lighthouse legacy, and tight-knit community spirit run through everything we do. We're proud to call this remarkable corner of Massachusetts home — and we can't wait to share it with players from across the region and beyond.
