Where to Play Padel in Portland, Oregon (2026 Guide)

Portland has one padel club with courts open to the public: Foundry Padel, four indoor glass courts in St. Johns, next to Cathedral Park. Drop-in play is $22.50 per player for 90 minutes with no membership needed, and the club is open every day from 6am to midnight (Foundry's website, read 7 November 2026). Everything else padel-related in Portland and the rest of Oregon is either a student club that plays at Foundry or a project in Bend that has not opened.

That makes this a short guide, but not a thin one. Foundry runs a league, a December tournament, coaching and a way to find a game when you can't round up three friends, and those are what turn a first visit into a weekly game.

The club: Foundry Padel

What padel costs in Portland

Foundry prices courts by length, for up to four players, and the rates are the same at any hour:

• A 60-minute court is $60.
• A 90-minute court is $90.
• A 120-minute court is $120.
• One player's place in a 90-minute open match is $22.50.

A standard club racket rents for $5 and a premium demo racket for $10, and balls are on sale at the club. Split four ways, a 90-minute court works out to the same $22.50 a head as joining an open match, so booking the whole court only buys you the choice of who you play with.

Memberships

Foundry sells three founding memberships, limited to 100 in total (prices read 7 November 2026):

• Student / Longevity, $100 a month: for students, retirees, veterans and first responders. Unlimited free off-peak play and a 7-day booking window.
• Regular, $150 a month: unlimited off-peak play plus 25% off your share of every peak court booking, with a 10-day booking window.
• Padelhead, $200 a month: adds free play in some peak slots (Monday to Wednesday 4pm to 6pm, weekends 2pm to 4pm), 50% off every tournament and a 12-day booking window.

Read the terms before you sign. A membership covers your spot on a court, not the whole court, so the other three players still pay their own share. Memberships run for a 12-month term from the day you join, and cancelling stops the renewal but the remaining months are still payable. The unlimited off-peak benefit is guaranteed through 1 September 2027, and the club promises at least 60 days' notice of any change after that.

Off-peak means Monday to Friday 6am to 4pm and 10pm to midnight, plus weekends from 4pm to midnight. Weekday evenings from 4pm to 10pm are peak, so if you only play after work, the free off-peak play does little for you and the Regular tier's peak discount is the part you would use.

Finding a game without a group

In a one-club city the hard part is finding three other players at your level. Foundry handles it two ways. Open matches on Playtomic let you join on your own, and the club matches you with players at your level. Its find-players page takes your level and the times you play, then messages you when an open match needs someone like you. The club also runs a WhatsApp community, linked from its site footer.

New players are pointed to coach-led clinics in small groups. The coaching page lists the coaches as RPP-certified and gives each one's focus: Ryan Chin on tennis-to-padel transition and net play, Kelly Correia on back glass, double-wall shots and the bandeja for intermediate players and up, and Jack Wang on a 6-week padel course in the fundamentals. Clinics and private lessons are booked on Playtomic.

Juniors

Foundry's first junior clinic ran on Friday, 9 October, with Timbers legend Diego Valeri on court. It was free, with 80 places covered by a club sponsor, and split by age: 10 to 13 in the first session, 14 and up in the second. Further dates have not been announced. They will fall on days off school, and the juniors page takes sign-ups for the announcement. Every player under 18 needs a waiver signed by a parent or guardian.

Leagues and tournaments

The Foundry League runs from 2 November to 13 December 2026: teams of two in groups by level, one match a week, with the two teams choosing their own day and time. Every match is three full sets, and each set won is a point in the table, so the third set always counts. Games use golden point at deuce. Players who have signed up pay through a $35 payment link on the league page, which also carries the table.

The Foundry Open is on 5 December and 6 December 2026: pool play on Saturday, then a single-elimination bracket on Sunday, in beginner, intermediate and advanced draws. Entry is $100 until registration closes on Friday 27 November, and the field is capped at 100 players. The prize pot is $3,500 across the three levels, a mix of cash and goods, and entry includes a limited-edition jersey and a brat and a drink each day. You can enter alone and be paired with someone at your level.

Foundry's rating guide puts the beginner draw at 0 to 1.75, intermediate at 1.5 to 3.5 and advanced at 3.5 and up. The club says the bands are a guide, not a rule, and it seeds Sunday's brackets from Saturday's pools anyway. Sign up on the Foundry Open page.

Padel PDX is a guide, not a club

Older search results and directory listings describe Padel PDX as a second Portland club in the works. It is an independent guide to padel in Portland that lists local clubs and offers coaching held at Foundry. It has no courts of its own, and we have taken it out of the Padel Browser directory.

The nearest padel outside Oregon

The closest alternative is in the Seattle area, where Jam Padel in Bellevue runs three outdoor courts. Our Seattle post and Pacific Northwest overview cover the clubs there. For a Portland player, though, everything you need is at the end of N Crawford Street, open until midnight every night.
