About this court

Great Neck Recreation Center is a membership-based pickleball and multi-sport destination in Virginia Beach, VA, situated at 2521 Shorehaven Drive and rated 4.1 out of 5 across 102 Google reviews. The facility operates in good condition and offers an extensive amenity package — fitness center, pool, locker rooms, showers, restrooms, and ADA accessibility — positioning it as a well-rounded option for players who want more than just court time. Access follows a pay-to-play, membership model, and drop-in play is available for added flexibility. Hours are structured to accommodate early risers, with weekday doors opening at 6:00 AM Monday through Friday; the facility stays open until 9:00 PM Monday through Thursday and until 8:00 PM on Fridays. Weekend hours are more limited, running 9:00 AM–5:00 PM on Saturdays and 11:00 AM–5:00 PM on Sundays. The kid-friendly designation is backed by on-site childcare, which players with toddlers specifically mention as a practical feature. Reviewer sentiment around the facility is mixed but generally positive. Long-time members highlight clean, functional equipment and a welcoming atmosphere, while some visitors note that the building — which has served the community for decades — is beginning to show its age in areas like the men's locker room and certain fitness machines. Several reviewers point to the membership pricing as strong value compared to private gyms in the Virginia Beach, US area, suggesting the overall package outweighs the wear-and-tear concerns for most regulars.
