Friday, Saturday & Sunday

Wednesday and Thursday evenings just got a little more competitive.

Reserve a pickleball court at Sellwood Community House this July and August for your crew, your coworkers, your family, or that group chat that’s been saying “we should play” for months.

For $60, you’ll get a private court for 90 minutes—plenty of time for friendly rallies, questionable line calls, and maybe even a rematch.

Reservations are available online. Grab a spot before they’re gone and we’ll see you on the court. 🏓
