Jay Community Center

Court Details

About this court

Seven indoor pickleball courts in good condition make Jay Community Center one of Portland, Indiana's most active public play destinations in the United States. Weekday open play runs 9:00 AM to noon at no cost, and dedicated evening sessions on Monday and Wednesday from 5:30 to 8:00 PM are available for just $2. Paddles and balls are provided on-site, meaning new and casual players can show up without any equipment. A steady community of 16 to 20 regulars takes part in weekday sessions, and all levels of play are explicitly welcome. The center's amenities extend well beyond the courts. The facility is ADA accessible with elevator access, and includes locker rooms, restrooms, and a fitness center — visitors mention that it supports a broad range of community programming, from multi-sport events to fitness classes. Rated 4.5 stars across 97 Google reviews, players note that the facility is affordable and well-kept, with the family pricing structure drawing particular appreciation from couples and households. Located at 115 E. Water St., Jay Community Center operates Monday through Thursday from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Friday 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Saturday 7:00 AM to noon, and Sunday 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
