DURING THE “OFF SEASON" (October through mid-May)
If the courts are dry and the temperature is above the mid-30s, there will usually be people playing at Wixon in the mornings (9-11, usually earlier and later also). No registration is required; just show up, put your paddle on the fence in a group of four, and take your turn on the court. Please model good sportsmanship and have fun!
“Drop-in Play"
x
Drop-in play is not offered for unregistered players during monitored play hours. Anyone can play at Wixon after monitored play ends (noon or 11), except for 5-7 on Tuesday/Thurdsay. It can be hard to predict how many people might be there to play with. In mid-summer, the courts are often almost full, but there is no guarantee, especially for May-early June and September. Drop-in play is available in other nearby towns:
- Yarmouth Pickleball offers organized pickleball play at Flax Pond, 31 Dupont Avenue, from 9 am to 12 noon ($5/day).
- Barnstable Pickleball offers organized pickleball play open to all from 8 am to 12 noon Monday through Saturday (no drop-in fee). https://barnstablepickleball.com/

WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT
Friends of Dennis Pickleball
The Friends of Dennis Pickleball is a non-profit organization. FODP worked with the Town of Dennis, along with the CPC, in 2019 to rebuild the dilapidated tennis courts on Old Chatham Road in South Dennis. We donated over $10,000 to the town through our fundraising efforts. We continue to raise money to support pickleball play in the areas of need.
What is Pickleball?
Pickleball is an entertaining mix of tennis, badminton, and ping pong. A paddle sport created for all ages and skill levels. It's fast paced, easy to learn, great exercise and lots of FUN. Come Check it Out!
