Middleborough Surf Park is not open yet. The developer is targeting 2028 to 2029 (developer plans, before a state environmental review was required in Aug 2026). It runs Wavegarden Cove in Middleborough, Massachusetts, USA.
Verified October 2026
A proposed surf park on about 20 acres of the former Schobel Farm on East Grove Street in Middleborough, Massachusetts, which the Boston Globe described in June 2026 as potentially New England's first surf park. Developers Clay Rockefeller and Jerry Pucillo plan a six-acre Wavegarden lagoon with waves up to about 7 feet, a restaurant and bar and 35 cottages for overnight stays, at a cost of up to 80 million dollars. Wavegarden itself lists Middleborough among its US projects in planning. The applicant, N.E.S.P., LLC, petitioned the Zoning Board of Appeals for a special permit, heard on 23 July 2026, and the Planning Board held a hearing on 4 August 2026.
Nothing to book yet. The site is about 55 minutes by car from Boston and about 50 minutes from Providence; Boston Logan is about 1 hour and T. F. Green about 1 hour 5 minutes.

When does Middleborough Surf Park open?
Middleborough Surf Park is under development, with opening expected in 2028 to 2029. It is still in permitting. On 14 August 2026 the state's Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs ruled that the project must file a full environmental impact report, with more detail on water use, traffic, land alteration, stormwater and wastewater, and recommended looking at other sites because the land is prime farmland. The Massachusetts and Middleboro historical commissions have raised concerns about the site's history, including a burial ground the Nemasket tribe used, and residents have raised traffic, noise and water concerns. The developer hoped to open in 2028 and later called that ambitious; Nemasket Week reported that construction had been planned for 2027 to 2029.
