About this place
Columbia Park holds eight pickleball courts, equal-largest in Portland for year-round play, and it is one of four sites the parks department names as sanctioned pickleball parks. Portland stripes pickleball only where courts sit roughly 300 to 600 feet from housing, and it names Columbia, Pier, Sellwood and Gabriel as the parks that meet that condition. The courts are described by the city as hard courts with permanent lines, and they are free.
Getting there
4503 N Lombard St, Portland, OR 97203, in North Portland. The Census geocoder places it in Multnomah County. Lombard is a major east-west arterial across the north of the city. Portland Parks & Recreation publishes no parking information for this site: no lot, no capacity, no permit district. Columbia is a large park with other draws than pickleball, so a busy weekend is a reasonable thing to plan for.
What to expect
Eight free courts, first-come and first-served, open dawn to dusk, and bring your own net. The department asks players to limit a session to an hour when others are waiting, and its rules say a single player may not hold a court while a partner is on the way. Restrooms and drinking water are listed. Lighting is not mentioned, here or anywhere else on the city's pickleball page.

Thanks. Your review is in the queue: a person reads every one before it appears here, so it will not show up straight away.
That review did not go through. It needs a star rating, a name and at least twenty characters of text.
We could not save that review just now. Try again in a little while.

Questions about Columbia Park
How many pickleball courts does Columbia Park have?
Eight, stated by Portland Parks & Recreation as "8 Outdoor hard courts". That ties Columbia with Sellwood Park as the largest year-round pickleball site in the city. Only the Portland Tennis Center has more, and its courts take pickleball for part of the year.
Do I need to bring a net?
Yes. The city's entry ends "bring your own net". Nets are included at only two Portland park sites, Laurelhurst and Gabriel, and this is not one of them.
What are the posted rules on the court?
Games are to eleven, win by two. Play is limited to an hour if others are waiting, and a single player may not hold a court until a partner arrives. Water only: no food, gum, other drinks or glass on the courts. Nothing that marks the surface, and bags and bottles kept off the court. Skateboards, scooters, bicycles, rollerblades and smoking or vaping are prohibited. Wait outside the fence for the players ahead of you to finish.

What claiming does and does not doShow less
You can claim this listing and correct anything on it. To be clear about what claiming does and does not do: it gives you control of your own facts and a channel to reach us, and it is shown on the page as confirmed by the venue with the date you confirmed it.
It does not mark the listing verified, because a claim tells us who you are rather than checking what is here, and those are different things. It also buys no ranking, no sorting and no placement advantage over an unclaimed venue. The moment claiming bought position this would be an advertising product rather than a directory, and the whole promise would be gone.
Something wrong here?
If you play here and this is out of date, tell us. Corrections come with a source and a date attached, the same as everything else, and a correction that changes a court count gets checked against the city record before it goes live.
