Where the heck is Clatskanie? We're just across the river from
Longview, WA and about an hour NW of Portland. A few blocks from our playing site is a covered skate park, kayak rentals
and a great pizza place! Our tournaments are friendly, fun, have unique awards and are definitely worth checking
out.
Directions: Take I-5 to the Longview WA exit #36. Follow the signs to the Lewis
& Clark bridge. Cross the Columbia River into Oregon. Turn right onto Hwy 30, travel 11 miles. We're
a one stoplight town... don't blink or you may miss it! Two streets past the light, turn left onto Bryant
St. The playing site is 5 blocks up on the left.
Or.... take Highway 30 from Portland or the Coast and follow the directions above.
CONCESSIONS
Beverages and snacks will be available onsite.
BRING
Folding chairs for parents (seating is available, but if you have a comfortable
