About this Location

Facility Overview

Conveniently situated at the vibrant crossroads where Portland's historic Northwest District (Nob Hill / Alphabet District) meets the foothills of the West Hills, 2-184 NW 24th Pl Parking serves as a premier off-street parking destination for the landmark Uptown Shopping Center and the surrounding urban community. Positioned along NW 24th Place between West Burnside Street and NW Westover Road, the facility offers a balanced configuration consisting of an open-air surface parking lot alongside an adjoining covered multi-level garage.

Vehicle accessibility is among the strongest attributes of this location. The open-air surface lot boasts open headroom without any overhead height restrictions, easily accommodating high-profile 4x4 pickups, full-size extended SUVs, commercial cargo vans, and vehicles outfitted with roof boxes or bicycle racks. The adjoining covered garage provides sheltered parking with standard vertical clearances (typically 6'8" to 7'0"), perfect for standard passenger sedans, hatchbacks, and compact crossovers. Ample drive aisle width ensures comfortable turning radii and straightforward maneuvering during peak traffic periods.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Before leaving your vehicle, take careful note of the signage posted above your parking stall. Several surface spaces provide short-term complimentary customer parking (typically 60 to 90 minutes) dedicated strictly to patrons of Uptown businesses, while other spaces may require display permits, digital app check-in, or merchant validation to avoid citations. If you plan to attend a match at Providence Park or embark on an extended hike through Washington Park, verify that you are parked in an unrestricted or paid long-term stall. On Timbers/Thorns match days and sunny summer weekends, NW 23rd and Burnside experience heavy traffic; plan to arrive 45 to 60 minutes ahead of scheduled events to secure your space easily. As with all urban destinations, remember to roll up windows, lock all doors, and keep personal valuables tucked away out of sight.
