Angel’s Court at The PATIO is located in Vancouver, Washington. It was built in the fall of 2022 and is the primary home of our LiveSHOT clinics and lessons. The court is painted in Light Green and Indian Wells Purple Pro. IW Purple Pro is the ideal color for a pickleball court as it is the exact opposite from the neon pickleball on the color wheel and maximizes playing visibility.

Whether you are sitting in the grass, lounging under the shade of the trees or dropping your thirds on the court, we hope you’ll join us and experience everything that The PATIO has to offer!
