Give the Gift of Play
PP&R makes last-minute shopping easy
You can make a gift of play to anyone by calling the customer service center at 503-823-2525. Gift certificates* are possible in almost any amount and can be specified for a specific individual. They are good for use toward the cost of registering for classes and activities system-wide, as well as for permits, rental fees, merchandise, swim lessons, fitness passes, and drop-in usage fees at any PP&R recreation facility. Your gift certificate* may be used on multiple items, but may not be redeemed for services or merchandise at City of Portland public golf courses. *Note: no actual certificate is issued, the purchaser is given a unique code which unlocks the gift amount.
