Groups enjoy playing pickleball at the brand new East County Pickleball Courts in Troutdale.

The largest indoor pickleball court facility in Oregon celebrated its grand opening Saturday, Oct. 19, in Troutdale at 27100 S.E. Stark St.

East County Pickleball Courts offers 12 temperature-controlled indoor dedicated pickleball courts, making it the largest of its kind in the state. After some red tape delays from permits and construction (the building is a former grocery store) everything is set for pickleball enthusiasts.

Owners Stayce Blume and Amelia Salvador welcomed guests to the opening with opportunities to experience the courts.

“We had this vision of a welcoming space where players of all skill levels could come and enjoy the sport,” Blume said in an earlier story on the business.

The courts, which will be open daily, have a speaker system to play music and add to the ambiance. The space is temperature controlled, so air conditioning in the summer and heat during the winter. And there is lots of parking.
