Facility Overview
The Drexler Garage (operated by Propark Mobility) is a premier, multi-level covered parking garage nestled squarely within Portland\'s bustling Rose Quarter sports and entertainment campus at 100 N Drexler Dr. Named in honor of Portland Trail Blazers basketball legend Clyde Drexler, this modern facility provides covered, weather-protected parking designed to accommodate intense event-day traffic as well as daily commercial and commuter visitors. The garage features wide driving lanes, well-delineated parking stalls, bright illumination across all tiers, and dedicated pedestrian walkways with elevator and stair access. It comfortably accommodates standard sedans, crossovers, mid-size SUVs, and standard light-duty pickup trucks. Taller commercial vehicles, passenger vans, and vehicles outfitted with elevated roof racks or rooftop carriers should observe the posted maximum overhead vehicle clearance (typically standard at 6 feet 8 inches to 7 feet depending on level) before entering.

Visitor & Driver Tips
During sold-out Moda Center concerts and Trail Blazers home games, local Rose Quarter roads experience intense congestion roughly 45 to 60 minutes prior to game time. Drivers are strongly advised to reserve parking in advance through online booking portals and plan an arrival at least 45 minutes before arena doors open. Exiting after events can require patience; following the instructions of parking marshals and taking advantage of direct ramps toward I-5 or the Broadway Bridge will significantly speed up your departure.
