Wells High School Pickleball Court

The pickleball courts at Wells High School are located on the southwest side of Portland, Oregon, in the 97219 zip code covering the Multnomah and Hayhurst neighborhoods. The school, formerly known as Wilson High School before its renaming in 2021, sits in a residential part of Southwest Portland with a quieter, hillier character than the busier inner eastside neighborhoods.

The courts are part of the school's athletic facilities and are generally available to the public outside of school hours, in keeping with Portland Public Schools' joint-use agreements that open district athletic spaces to the community when not in use by school programs. This shared access fills gaps in southwest Portland where dedicated public pickleball facilities are fewer than in other parts of the city.

Portland's pickleball community continues to expand, and having school courts accessible to drop-in players helps distribute play across the city. Because the area is residential and removed from the busiest corridors, these courts attract committed local players and tend to have a focused, comfortable atmosphere.

Players should confirm current access schedules with Portland Public Schools before visiting, as athletic seasons and school events can temporarily limit public access. Parking is available in the school lots. The outdoor play season peaks from late spring through early fall when Portland's frequent rain lets up.
