PDX PLAY PROJECT

OUR TOWN. OUR SPORTS

Founded with a mission to unite the vibrant neighborhoods of Portland through the joy of sports and competition, PDX Play Project is dedicated to creating opportunities for friends, families, and teammates to come together, connect, and celebrate the spirit of our local communities.

At PDX Play Project, we believe in the power of sports to transcend boundaries and bring people together. Whether it's a friendly soccer tournament, a thrilling basketball competition, or a fun-filled day of pickleball, we provide the platform for individuals of all ages and skill levels to participate, compete, and build lasting relationships.

Our commitment to fostering community goes beyond the field or court. We strive to create inclusive and welcoming environments where everyone feels valued and empowered to showcase their talents, make new friends, and create unforgettable memories.

Join us at PDX Play Project as we continue to champion the spirit of sportsmanship, camaraderie, and unity, one game at a time. Together, let's play, connect, and celebrate the vibrant tapestry of our Portland neighborhoods.
