Attention all tennis, racquetball, and pickleball enthusiasts—as the weather heats up and you start looking for healthy and fun activities to include in your enjoyment of summer, consider Mt. Hood Community College’s (MHCC) on-campus tennis courts, which are open for public use. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just looking to have some fun with friends, you’re invited to grab your racket and head to the courts for some exercise, competition, and fresh air.

You can also use the MHCC tennis and racquetball courts to play pickleball. Pickleball is often described as a combination of tennis, Ping-Pong, and badminton and can be played on a tennis court or racquetball court. The number of U.S. pickleball players increased almost 40% between 2019 and 2021, according to a report from the Sports and Fitness Industry Association, likely because this game is widely-considered easier than tennis while still offering a satisfying, competitive experience.

Tennis Court hours
Sunday–Saturday, 7 a.m.–Dark
Racquetball Court hours: Monday – Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.

Courts are available on a first-come, first-serve basis and there are scheduled, regular times that the courts are reserved by organizations. If you would like to reserve a tennis court or racquetball court for your organization, email Dr. Kim Hyatt at kim.hyatt@mhcc.edu.
See you on the courts!
