About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Portland\'s bustling Lloyd District, the Ace Parking lot at 1260 NE 7th Ave offers an accessible, uncovered surface parking option for daily commuters, local shoppers, and eventgoers alike. Because this is an open-air surface lot, it provides a distinct advantage over subterranean and low-clearance garages: there are no overhead ceiling restrictions. Drivers operating high-profile vehicles, including lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, conversion vans, and commercial service vehicles with roof racks, can enter and maneuver with absolute ease.

The facility features clear stall markings, broad turning aisles, and dedicated designated parking options that facilitate smooth ingress and egress even during busier traffic windows.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During major conventions or high-profile Moda Center concerts, the Lloyd District experiences heavy congestion. Arriving 30 to 45 minutes ahead of schedule guarantees an effortless parking experience. Be sure to check posted digital signage and payment station instructions upon arrival, as event rates and time-limit regulations may fluctuate during marquee sporting and entertainment events. Before walking away, make note of your vehicle\'s stall number and ensure your ticket or mobile payment confirmation has been successfully validated.
