Indoor pickleball courts that are air conditioned. Inside is two bars with a good food menu of sandwiches, burgers, pizzas, and rice bowls. Prices aren't insane. There's also an arcade, ping pong tables, and some other games that I didn't play. Overall, staff was helpful and there was rental equipment available as I didn't have my own. Good place to play.

This place is SO wonderful! We had our son's graduation party hosted here (after several other great experiences of going there as a family) and it was such a great experience! Michelle and her team were wonderful about communication and meeting our needs and the staff the day of the party was excellent. Would highly recommend this spot for any upcoming celebrations you have! Our son and his friends had SO much fun...guests from ages 13-73 ALL enjoyed it!

This was our first pickleball experience. It was very fun and it was easy to reserve a court and rent paddles. I wish the ceilings were higher and that the courts were better enclosed and maybe there were some fans to help the ventilation, but none of this took away from the experience. It's a clean facility with nice staff. Food smelled really good but we had plans elsewhere. I think we'll be back!

TPC has a very inviting atmosphere. It's very self guided space. Had a slice of wood fired, thin crust pizza - yummy, would've liked a little more sauce. Also had a good mocktail. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Great pickleball spot—clean, welcoming, and inclusive. The bathrooms are spotless, and the food options are solid too. So why 4 stars instead of 5? The indoor courts have a low ceiling, which limits high lobs. Outdoor courts are mostly great, though. Still a fun place to play!

Great and fun place to spend time with family and friends! We celebrated our first birthday for my son at the Den and fit 50 people, we ordered pizza’s and salad with a reasonable price that worth the good taste. Drinks food and fun for a good value.

Wow. What an impressive place. Nice spot right on 82 close to 205. Not on the nicest part of 82nd but it could rebound with more stuff like this. Anyway a tons of parking, easy to get to. HUGE space inside with tons of courts for pball, corn hole, and bachi ball. For kids or rad adults there’s an arcade with games, there’s an area for watching sports. And important to me - tons of food options and drinks. They have everything from pizza to burgers to salads. Drink wise they have cocktails to ciders to decent amount of IPAs to NA beers. It’s an amazing way to spend a few hours socializing or getting exercise. Bathrooms are huge and nice. They were clean when I was there. Staff were friendly and helpful. It’s a great spot. Awesome facility. Scope it out to eat, drink, or play.

We came for lunch and disc golf! Food was very good, high end noms. The putt putt style disc golf was great! Took a little under 30 minutes for my husband and I to go through. Happy for the all day pass because here we go again 🤩 See pics !

I'm a racquet/ paddle kind of person! I've played competitively in badminton, racquetball, tennis and ping pong. I'm getting up there in age, and friends my age have been transitioning to pickleball. I tried it several years ago, but my knees weren't having it. Decided pickleball wasn't for me. Fast forward a few years. A friend told me that there was a friend on Facebook that was starting a pickleball group. I asked to join the group. I like staying social and active in my old age. For our first get together we decided on a location that was centrally located of where everyone was coming from. I'm in Hillsboro, one was from Vancouver and another was coming from Troutdale. We decided on The People's Courts. I like that there was plenty of parking. I entered the building and it was spacious with plenty of courts, good lighting. I got there early and since I hadn't eaten yet, went to The Kitchen (I love the reference to "kitchen" in pickleball!) to see what they had. There were a few vegan items, I ended up getting fries and a coke zero while waiting for friends. When my friend that made the court reservation got there, there was a mix up with his reservation. He tried to reserve online, but was unsuccessful. So he called and spoke with someone. The problem was that the reservation was for last month. Availability was now more limited. We ended up getting an outdoor court for half an hour. I actually liked playing outdoors, though it was a warm day. We got The Bunker down in the basement for the next hour. I kind of liked it down there because it was private and had fun music playing! We didn't really know the rules, so we just rallied around. It was a great workout! Upstairs, it looked like plenty of courts, plenty of seating areas to gather and be social. Ping pong tables, corn hole thingies. I saw an arcade. Everything you need to have a fun time!

We had our company holiday event at The People's Court and it was 10 out of 10. I love the idea of an interactive event vs sitting at a dining table. We had a personalized sign upon entering, amazing drink menu, delicious appetizers and food and fun sports to play. Everyone enjoyed feeling young again and just playing pickleball, bocce ball and cornhole. They even let us box the leftover food and take it home!

This is not just an indoor Pickleball facility, but they also have other fun games like indoor disk golf, Ping Pong, Arcade, bocce, and cornhole. In addition, they have two restaurants. One serves pizza, and the other has a larger many with many choices of alcoholic drinks. My main interest in pickleball. They have five indoor and six outdoor courts. I would go there not just for pickleball but also for the food and drinks too. Our exprience so far has been very positive. Everyone is positive, friendly, and helpful. The atmosphere there is festive and feels like a party. Parking is not an issue, as they have plenty of spots. The pickleball court prices are on the expensive side, so I recommend going there in a group of four. It makes it more tolerable.

Cool spot for Pickleball, bocce, and ping-pong. Somewhere to put your drink while playing ping-pong would be great. Could also use some hooks in the changing area in the bathroom. Overall, a solid place to spend some time.

Super friendly staff who are eager to help. First timers such as us full of questions and excitement. We had an indoor court for an hour loved it would definitely return! It is a little spendy but if you were to share cost with a group not bad at all. We had a blast and a good work out.

On first visit, I've had no issues. Air conditioned indoor pickleball courts and they also had what looked like 2 singles sized courts along with a dinking sized court. 6 outdoor pickleball courts as well. Corn hole in between pickleball courts and bocci on the outsides along with a whole setup for table tennis made this place an interesting mix of sports all in one place. They have an arcade with throwback games as well as pinball and they said their putt putt style disc golf was opening soon (basement) Only played pickleball there but the facility was clean, the courts well made, and everything taken care of so far. The only down side is the ceilings are too low. It doesn't come into account for normal play but it rules out some shots (lobs mostly) I'd say for pickleball, it might be better suited for drinking and having fun while playing versus competitive pickleball. It has a bowling alley vibe with bar seating overlooking all the courts. Full restaurant and bar were open but didn't get to try it

Got a chance to have an office happy hour here and it's definitely a great spot for both activities and food/drinks. There are plenty to do here: pickle ball, bocce ball, table tennis, and even a disc golf putt-putt! The space is super large too. The food they provided was tasty. The Thai Meatballs packed a punch and had strong curry flavors. I also really enjoyed their Tater Tots. Drinks were also exceptional. Even their on tap Punch and Magarita were delicious.

Idea is cool! Playing physical games there were no fans, I saw 2 against the wall of bocce ball court, but no plug ins! Music that was on overhead was low and terrible, at the very least I'd say play today's hits so you get a mix of it all. Also the food menu was ok, I wanted to try the pizza but they only had 12" as their smallest, so I didn't. It was my first time there and the person working the front didn't give me a breakdown of where everything is etc. I found out from a friend when I left that there's a basement with courts too?!? I will probably go back with a group and give it another go, but it was underwhelming.

It's definitely a fun place to go. Lots of pickle ball courts, corn hole, bocce ball, ping pong tables, and a small arcade make for a great place for a company event, family night or a fun date.

Really amazing space for pickleball and other merriment (pingpong, arcade games, corn hole, etc.). Easy online reservations process for booking a court, and the whole facility is well-maintained, clean, and ready to go. Only rec is to plan ahead and skip the food and drink options. The offerings are fine, but dang, the folks working those areas are consistently disgruntled and sometimes downright hostile. It's amazing how that kinda vibe can really kill your buzz after a fun time on the courts!

Finally got to check this out and I must say I love Pickleball! Came on a rainy evening and opted for the smaller court since there were only two of us. There seems to be a generous amount of time to play, so it's not like there's a timer going. My experience was that everything was very clean here, and we were able to play a good 30 minutes. The bar staff was nice and I got a margarita, and my friend a chilled Irish coffee. The fans on the courts could have been facing the players as it got pretty sweaty. The arcade has a mix of DDR (with an attached flat monitor,hehe), pinball, retro, and the Star Wars arcade. Would absolutely recommend for a big group as there's lots to do, but they did well for a small group too.

This People's Courts is such an awesome idea and area. My friends and I have been coming here for pickle ball and have so much fun every time we play. The space itself is well branded and in addition to pickle ball courts, it has food, drinks, and arcade games available. We love it here and can't wait for the next time we reserve courts!

The very best place to play pickleball in Portland. Excellent courts. Since their opening, they have gone out of their way to revise and tweak their schedule and prices to accommodate all players. The staff are friendly and very helpful. The people who show up for the open plays are the very best kind of fun. Sure, people are competitive, but not aggressive or oppressive. The culture at TPC is first and foremost "have fun" and make sure those who are just learning get supported. Food: good salads and bowls. Pizza is also good. Fine selection of beers, cocktails. Cider selection - dry is my jam - is a bit limited. So happy they are busy and doing well!

It gets five stars because it's unique! It's a game room where you can play indoor pickleball, pingpong, bocce, disc golf -- am I missing anything? I know we have a few pingpong places in town, and I'm sure there are indoor pickleball courts, but I believe this is the only place where you can play so many games. It's sort of like a bowling alley (except without bowling) -- you pay at a desk up front, get your equipment, and then go play. Great spot for an office party or adult birthday party etc -- but you don't need a big group. It's also a nice place to bring visiting relatives who are ready for some more active experiences (especially if the weather is bad outside), or just go with a friend or two. (Not sure about going alone -- you could do disc golf solo, but the other games need a partner.) There is an extensive draft list, so if one of your friends doesn't want to bend more than the elbow, he will be fine! Cocktails and NA beverages too. There also is a variety of food options, but we didn't try them. (Psst...this place is right next door to a great pho place, Pho Oregon! That's where we went to eat.)

Great place to play during the better weather days in Oregon. The outdoor courts are nice and well maintained, lots of seating options both inside and outside for socializing too. The indoor courts are also nice but the ceilings are low making lobbing difficult. There's also a lot more than pickleball courts, there's food, a bar, arcade and other activities to enjoy.

Since this recreation building opened, I've been for pickleball, work bonding, hang out with friends. So nice to have a local pickleball court that serves food and beer, have plenty of seating for groups, have a variety of game options like disc golf, ping pong, corn hole, bocce ball, and arcade. Plenty of activities for everyone. Large parking lot is also a plus. Only downside is the cost to play and too crowded on Thursday-Saturday evenings. This is my go to pickleball locale.

Okay...SO MUCH FUN! We went as a family tonight...FREE to play on Friday nights in February AMAZING! We all had a blast!!! If you want to play pickleball, you do need to make reservations. So we didn't get a chance to play pickleball, but we played corn hole and ping pong.

This has quickly become our favorite place for all things fun! We've played Pickleball here a handful of times & tonight ate at the restaurant for the first time. We had low expectations, but were pleasantly surprised that the food was pretty good! I had the NOLA Fried Chicken Sandwich that has a bit of spice to it, yummy homemade coleslaw, unique pickles that really offset the spice of the chicken. My aunt had the Nathan's hotdog that was grilled, along with a grilled bun, and fries. The fry sauce was good too. We'll definitely eat there again and we're excited to try something new next time, like their Pho bowl, which looks very freshly made too. Such a fun place with Pickleball, ping pong, bocce ball, corn hole, and disc golf. Lots of choices for a fun time. This place would be a great idea for Corporate events.

So glad a place like this opened up in SE PDX! Plenty of things for everyone to do whether it's pickle ball, bocce ball, arcade, or just enjoying food and drinks. My first time playing and it was a blast. The courts were cleaned and well maintained. The employees were super helpful. I'll def be back.

Awesome courts, awesome arrangement of the whole place. All of the staff that we interacted with had a great gracious and friendly attitude. I can't remember when I saw SO many customers with huge smiles on their faces, laughing and socializing in the mix of activities. It felt like the way better, more adult but still family friendly version of the skating rink hang out of decades past. Super fun. Also, a big THANK YOU to one of your team members, Johnny (I believe), who pulled his car around to give us a jump start in the parking lot after we had spent hours inside playing pickleball, cornhole, skeeball, pong, & pinball. Apparently we accidentally hit the hazard lights, eventually draining the car battery.

TPC is amazing. Great pickleball courts, friendly staff, good hamburgers, a decent "semi-pro" shop with some cute merch. I wish it wasn't quite as expensive to rent courts and that you could rent a court for 90 mins after 5 but honestly love them and what a great addition to this area of town.

If you were advance 4.0+ , don't waste your time join the open play on Monday and Thursday night, other woman's old man's who claim the 4.0+ there wrong on there rating, they will try to slow you down so you can play at there level 3.0

Drop by to play some open Pickleball and there's only one court available and the people were sitting around for a turn. We're too tired to even dink. Low energy and not much availability to actually play Pickleball. I was on the willing to pay $15 to really do nothing when I can go to a local park and play which I did for over an hour and no Cost with people who actually wanted to play and not sit around talking about how they were too tired to do anything.

We were happy to see this being built, because we are curious about Pickleball! We checked it out yesterday, and instead of playing pickle ball we just opted for bocce ball. We had some yummy drinks and some tater tots and watched everyone around us having a lot of fun. Who knew but now I love bocce My daughter accidentally tripped and bonked her elbow and one of the staff came over and gave her ice cream to make her feel better. It was really sweet! We will definitely be back for some Pickleball action once we have a group.

THE place to play in Portland! The indoor courts are attractive, and SO MUCH QUIETER than any other indoor place I've ever played--which allows conversation and jokes in between points. The six outdoor courts are also lovely. Whether indoors or out, there's piped in music, which amps up the fun-factor. My friends and I love playing pickleball here, then enjoying a social beverage or two (great beers on tap) and having some food. The perfect location for a date night or fun with friends. Such a great addition to the Portland food + sports scene!
