The Irvington Club

Called for a private tennis lesson per the instructions of their site and Cris was rude and despondent. Seems that’s a theme from other reviews. There’s really no need to be callous. Update your website, if it’s not an option for non-members, then making that clear is quite easy.

Example of another institution where mostly-white progressives are responsible for inflicting harm on people of color. While they commit themselves to equity, diversity and inclusion, folks should be aware that the "The Irvington Tennis Club has been reaching out to members in the Portland In Color directory to invite them to exhibit their work in their space—without compensation— with an invitation to sell said work." When the founder of PIC reached out to them directly to let them know that they should be paying artists (at minimum, an honorarium for their labor but ideally, also supporting with exhibition costs), and they told her "they did not have budget to compensate artists." According to their webpage it costs prospective club members a minimum of $600 to join the waitlist and $2000 in initiation fees upon receiving their spot.

I would have to say that the court was amazing, did not see any damage and scorecards included on every court. Craftsman style outside was nice design, surrounded by Portland vibes with turnabouts. Indoor was dungeon like feel but nice and sealed, nice and cozy. Bathrooms, showers, filtered water, towel service all great. The BIGGest feature would have to be the second floor open bleachers. Best viewing angle you can ask for to see all 4 courts at once. If you want to get a closer view, you also get two sets of these bleachers downstairs next to court 1.

Review for swim membership and team only: Great place to be a summer swim member! It takes a long time to get in, usually several years, and they only let in a few families each year. Sign up, and wait. It's worth it! Swim lessons are for members and non-members. The coaches are great and kids have fun.

Nice club. They have 4 indoor and 2 outdoor courts. Extremely good viewing areas for the indoor courts.
