About this Location

Facility Overview

2000 SW Morrison St Parking is an open-air surface parking lot situated at the corner of SW Morrison Street and SW 20th Avenue in Portland's historic Goose Hollow and Stadium District. Positioned on the border where Downtown Portland meets Northwest Portland, this lot offers a flat, paved asphalt configuration with marked stalls and clear drive aisles. Because it is a surface parking facility without structural overhead decks, there are no vertical height clearance restrictions, making it an ideal choice for standard passenger vehicles, oversized pickup trucks (such as Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado models), full-size SUVs, and high-roof conversion vans that typically cannot enter nearby subterranean or multi-level garages.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

This parking location boasts one of the most strategic positions in Portland for sports and entertainment. Key attractions within direct walking distance include:

Providence Park: Located directly across SW 20th Avenue (under a 1-minute walk). As the historic home venue for the Portland Timbers (MLS) and Portland Thorns FC (NWSL), as well as a premier host for major outdoor concerts, this lot is about as close as a driver can get to the gates.
Multnomah Athletic Club (MAC): Situated approximately 0.2 miles south along SW Salmon Street (a 3-minute walk), ideal for members, visitors, and tournament attendees.
Nob Hill & Alphabet District (NW 21st & NW 23rd Avenues): Located roughly 3 to 5 blocks north (a 6 to 10-minute walk), offering popular local dining, coffeehouses, independent boutiques, and vibrant Portland nightlife.
Lincoln High School: Situated 3 blocks east along SW 18th Avenue (a 4-minute walk), convenient for athletic matches, scholastic events, and community meetings.
Washington Park & International Rose Test Garden: Located just over 1 mile west, reachable within a 5-minute drive or a quick connection via MAX light rail.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

The lot provides convenient vehicular ingress and egress from SW Morrison Street and SW 20th Avenue. Goose Hollow's grid system connects effortlessly to surrounding corridors: SW Jefferson Street and SW Canyon Road lead directly to westbound US Highway 26 (Sunset Highway), while SW 13th and 14th avenues offer quick connections to Interstate 405 (I-405), connecting north to I-5 and south to the South Waterfront.

For multi-modal transit users, the Providence Park MAX Light Rail Station is situated just steps away at SW 18th and Morrison, serving both the MAX Blue Line and MAX Red Line with non-stop service east through Downtown Portland and west toward Beaverton and Hillsboro. Frequent TriMet bus lines also service the Burnside and Morrison corridors, making this an exceptional transit-adjacent destination. Exiting after major Providence Park events requires extra driver awareness due to heavy pedestrian volume crossing SW 20th Avenue toward transit platforms.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because of its prime proximity to Providence Park, dynamic event pricing and high demand are standard during home soccer matches and major concerts. On match days, the surrounding neighborhood is heavily restricted by City of Portland event-zone residential parking permits; choosing an authorized off-street surface lot like 2000 SW Morrison prevents costly city parking citations. Arriving 60 to 90 minutes before scheduled event kickoff is strongly advised to beat heavy traffic bottlenecks along SW Morrison and West Burnside streets. When leaving large stadium events, expect temporary pedestrian holds near SW 20th Avenue and plan your egress route southward toward SW Jefferson or eastward toward SW 18th Avenue for the smoothest departure. As a best practice anywhere in central Portland, always lock vehicle doors, roll up windows completely, and take personal belongings and valuables with you.
