Multnomah Athletic Club

Portland, Oregon

Reviewed 2007

"Look at that, Jennifer—too cool!" I must have echoed this phrase 30 times before concluding our tour of the Multnomah Athletic Club.

Fitness facilities transcend the ordinary. One (yes, more than one) conditioning area spans 18,000 square feet, while one pool (there are three) stretches 50 meters. Tennis, basketball, soccer, badminton—name your sport, and I promise it's there.

Mariner hopefuls are in luck, too, with an awesome batting cage waiting for your eager Little Leaguer. Just be sure to sign up in advance with the club. What's more, Little Leaguers can take in Minor League action just beyond the MAC lobby, with private access to PGE Stadium, home of the AAA Portland Beavers. Contact the MAC Concierge Desk for more information.
