About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in Portland's vibrant Goose Hollow neighborhood adjacent to the Northwest District, 740 SW 21st Ave Parking provides premier, dependable vehicle parking in one of the city's most active cultural and entertainment corridors. Configured as an open-air surface parking lot, this facility offers direct, level ground-floor access without the tight spiral ramps, narrow concrete columns, or low ceiling overhangs common to multi-story garages. Because it is completely open to the sky, the lot imposes no vertical height clearance restrictions, making it an exceptional parking choice for standard passenger sedans, lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, roof-rack-equipped sports wagons, and high-roof passenger or cargo vans.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Arrive Early for Major Events: On Timbers or Thorns matchdays and stadium concert nights, parking demand in Goose Hollow spikes dramatically; plan to arrive at least 45 to 60 minutes prior to kickoff.
Mind Special Event Rates: Dynamic event rates may be active during stadium games and concerts; always confirm the posted on-site rates on signage or within the mobile parking app prior to finalizing your session.
Avoid Morrison Street Closures: Check for temporary pedestrian plaza closures on SW Morrison and SW 20th Place during major stadium events; navigating in via W Burnside Street or SW Salmon Street to SW 21st Ave is often the smoothest route.
Double-Check Your License Plate Number: Since enforcement relies on automated license-plate recognition (ALPR), make sure your vehicle's license plate characters are typed accurately into the payment mobile app or kiosk.
