Cottage Park Yacht Club Invites Community to Membership Open House

Special to the Transcript

Whether you’ve been a member of Cottage Park Yacht Club (CPYC) for years or have always been curious about what goes on behind those doors, Sunday, March 8 is your chance to find out — and have a great time doing it.

CPYC is hosting a Membership Appreciation Open House from 1 to 4 p.m., welcoming both current members and prospective members to come together, mix and mingle, and experience firsthand everything Cottage Park has to offer.

The afternoon promises a festive atmosphere with live music, complimentary food, a cash bar, and raffle prizes. It’s the kind of afternoon that reminds you why community spaces like this one matter — and why many Winthrop residents have called Cottage Park home for so long.

Beyond the social scene, the Open House is a perfect opportunity to learn about the club’s wide range of offerings. From bowling leagues and pool and darts nights to a robust entertainment calendar that keeps things lively year-round, there’s something for just about everyone. The club is also proud of its strong culture of volunteerism, giving members a chance to give back while building lasting friendships. And of course, the Pilot House restaurant continues to be a beloved destination for great food right on the water.

For those drawn to the waterfront side of club life, CPYC offers a wealth of opportunities to get out on the water regardless of whether you own a boat. The club’s popular Nautical Nights program pairs boat-owning members with non-boat-owning members, creating a wonderful way to forge new friendships while enjoying Boston Harbor. Members also have access to the club’s boat loan program, making it easier than ever to get out on paddle board or kayak whenever you’d like. For those looking to build their skills, the adult learn-to-sail program offers a welcoming path onto the water, and the club’s well-established youth sailing program has introduced generations of young Winthrop residents to the joy of sailing.

Cottage Park Yacht Club is located in ‘the maze’ neighborhood of Winthrop, and membership is open to all. Whether you’re looking for a social outlet, a place to get involved, or simply a great spot to enjoy life in a waterfront town, this Open House is the ideal first step.

Come see what you’ve been missing. The Cottage Park Yacht Club community looks forward to welcoming you on March 8. For more information, visit cpyc.org or reach out to the Membership Committee directly at membership@cpyc.org.
