Plan Your Montavilla Visit: Hours, Classes, Gym & Rentals
Montavilla Community Center is a Portland Parks & Recreation facility at 8219 NE Glisan Street, Portland, OR 97220. Located inside Montavilla Park, the center offers a gymnasium, multipurpose classrooms, scheduled drop-in recreation, youth programming and rentable space for events.
If you’re planning a visit, first decide whether you need a drop-in activity, registered class, TeenForce program, preschool information or private rental. Each follows a different schedule or process.
Information reviewed October 26, 2026. Classes, drop-in activities, rentals and building access can change because of staffing, weather or scheduled closures.

Preschool & Early Childhood Programs
Portland Parks Preschool is a play-based educational program for children ages 3–5. It emphasizes development, creativity, social experiences and age-appropriate learning.
The program participates in Preschool for All, and admission is not handled the same way as regular recreation classes.

|---|---|
| Age | 3–5 years |
| Enrollment | Through the Preschool for All process |
| Lottery | Typically takes place in April |
| Administrator | Multnomah County |
| Before applying | Review eligibility, enrollment dates and available locations |
The City’s Preschool for All information is the appropriate starting point for enrollment, rather than the regular recreation class registration form.

Montavilla Community Center offers two primary rentable indoor spaces: a full gymnasium and a multipurpose room.

Birthday Parties: Sports, Indoor Park & Bounce House
Montavilla offers three main types of party package during approved after-hours rental windows.
A sports-focused gathering with a selection of available equipment for games and group activities.
Indoor play equipment, including mats, trikes and a slide. Especially suitable for young children ages 5 and younger.
Sports or Indoor Park options combined with a bounce house. All jumpers require individual participant waivers.
Party renters receive exclusive kitchen access for cake and presents, with tables, chairs and cleaning supplies provided. Paper goods and party supplies are not supplied.
Bounce House Rules & Documents
- One responsible adult over age 18 must sign the Bounce House Use Agreement and be present during the event.
- Every bounce-house participant must have a signed waiver.
- Staff set up the bounce house; other setup and activities are handled by the party organizers.
- Children without a signed waiver cannot enter the bounce house, although they may participate in other approved gym activities.
- Renters should distribute waiver forms before the party to reduce check-in delays.
- Paper products, plates, decorations and similar party supplies are not provided.
- Food must stay in the kitchen area.
After your booking deposit is arranged, obtain the current agreement and participant-waiver forms directly from the City’s official Montavilla page or center staff.
For another example of gym and indoor-pool party planning, the Patterson Park Community Center rental guide covers a different municipal recreation facility’s event spaces, advance-booking rules and activity-specific rentals. Its policies are not Portland policies.
Montavilla Outdoor Pool: Seasonal Swimming
Montavilla Outdoor Pool is located in Montavilla Park alongside the community center. It is a separate seasonal aquatics facility, not an indoor swimming pool within the community center.
Portland’s outdoor pools are closed for the current fall/winter season and are expected to reopen in June 2027. Exact opening dates, lap swim, open swim and lesson schedules must be checked when the next season is published.
Montavilla Park & Nearby Outdoor Recreation
Montavilla Community Center sits inside Montavilla Park, a neighborhood park near NE 82nd Avenue and NE Glisan Street.
The park offers a playground, picnic areas, walking paths, sports fields, basketball and other outdoor recreation spaces. It is useful for families who want outdoor play before or after a scheduled center activity.
Park facilities can have different reservation rules. For organized field use, picnic shelters or large gatherings, check Portland Parks & Recreation’s applicable reservation procedures rather than assuming a community-center room reservation includes outdoor areas.
