Shannon is an excellent teacher and accommodates all the different learning styles. We had played pickle ball for fun a few times but realized we didn't understand the rules. My husband I both enjoyed the class and she keeps it fun, well-paced and it works for all levels. It attracts a lot of chill people so it's low pressure and easy for someone coming alone, which was true of most the class. Then we went on and took the beginning doubles for more play. You rotate around in 7 minute games with different partners each time so you get a lot of play time and learn from your partners. It's in a nice gym, with AC, great for year round fun.

My instructors, Steve and Keaton, were both kind, helpful, and explained things clearly. It was a nice balance of learning the basics of pickleball and getting to try out techniques. I'm definitely hooked on the game now! The courts were colder than I expected, so I recommend layering up if it's a cold day. This is a great place to learn and play pickleball!

Order: Head Extreme Spinning Racket w/ strings, grip, and dampener…read more Pros: they were really great! Loved that they gave me the ability to try a variety of rackets for $20 a month. Then they applied that $20 to your actual racket purchase. Im new to tennis so this was a great opportunity to try without actually purchasing first as this is a big investment. The store people were very nice and willing to help! They were knowledgable and werent pushy to make a sale. Rather, they wanted me to make the right decision after trying. I was able to purchase my racket and he strung the racket up within 20ish mins of my purchase! Way to go for customer service. As I did witness some people dropping their rackets off for a later pick up time. Cons: a tad bit expensive. But the pros outweighs the cons. Cons:

What a wonderful park! And the location is gorgeous. In my 20 years living in Portland, I have…read morenever been to this area. Was blown away on the drive out from Portland, coming down 43 following the Williamette River. The area and neighborhoods surrounding this park are just beautiful. The park itself is everything you want it to be. Swings and play structures for the kids and a water fountain/splash play area popular in the warm weaver. Bathrooms. Basketball courts. Tennis courts. Walking paths. Covered picnic area and large open field. We attended one of the Music in the Park concerts and the band was Girl Can't Help It, a Journey cover band. They were absolutely fantastic! Totally rocked it! They are playing on the Spirit of Portland in September. There was a very large crowd gathered on the large rolling green field, but it never felt crowded; everyone had plenty of space. The Music was hopping so there were lots of people dancing in front of the stage. There were families and groups of friends everywhere picnicing and enjoying the music. What a fun evening! The free music and concerts in the park is one of my favorite summer activities. Now that I have discovered Tanner Creek Park, I will proactively seek out their schedule so I can enjoy music here often. It as just that good!

Good for all ages. --Tied for best water feature (the revamped one in Willamette Park is fun too) Tanner Creek is home to the Music in the Park summer concert series and is a popular meeting place for families and teens all year round. West Linn is a mix of natural/traditional parks, best represented by Willamette and Mary S. Young, and new parks that have popped up in the newer housing developments that are much more state of the art. Tanner Creek has a nice covered structure for parties, tennis and basketball courts, and large grassy fields. The only thing that is missing is river access. That is why most of my time is spent at Willamette Park.

I can't say enough good things about Portland Tennis & Education (PT&E)…read more This isn't just a place where kids learn tennis - it's a true community hub that combines high-quality coaching with academic support, mentorship, and a genuinely welcoming environment. Every time I'm on site, I see staff and volunteers greeting kids by name, checking in on school, celebrating small wins, and creating a space where students feel seen and supported. The tennis coaching is fantastic, but what really sets PT&E apart is the focus on education and character. Students are getting homework help, learning life skills, and building confidence on and off the court. Families are embraced, not just "served," and you can feel that sense of trust and belonging from the moment you walk in. The leadership team works incredibly hard behind the scenes to keep programs strong, safe, and accessible, and it shows - from well-run events like the annual Tennis Ball to thoughtful communication with families and supporters. If you care about kids, education, and equity in Portland, supporting PT&E is one of the best things you can do.
