About this Location

Facility Overview

The East Garage (Propark) is a multi-level, covered parking structure located at 1550 N Flint Ave in Portland\'s bustling Lloyd District and Rose Quarter campus. Purpose-built to serve the immense transit and entertainment demands of North Portland, the facility provides secure, weather-protected parking across multiple tiered decks. The garage features well-marked vehicular lanes, broad parking bays, and accessible drive aisles suitable for sedans, crossovers, family minivans, and mid-size SUVs. Drivers of lifted pickup trucks, high-roof conversion vans, or vehicles equipped with high overhead ski or cargo boxes should remain mindful of the posted overhead clearance restrictions (typically standard garage clearance of approximately 6 feet 8 inches to 7 feet), as oversized commercial haulers and high-profile recreational vehicles cannot be accommodated inside the covered structure.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

East Garage sits directly at the epicentre of Portland’s premier sports and live performance complex, making it one of the most strategically advantageous parking destinations in the city. Key attractions within brief walking distance include:

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Following high-attendance sporting matches and sold-out arena concerts, dedicated traffic control staff frequently assist in directing outbound vehicles onto arterial routes and freeway on-ramps to minimize departure congestion. For multimodal travelers, the Rose Quarter Transit Center is only a short walk away, offering connections to TriMet MAX Light Rail (Blue, Green, Red, and Yellow lines) and multiple metropolitan bus routes, making this garage a prime park-and-ride hub.

Pre-Book Event Parking: For Trail Blazers games and top-tier concerts, parking passes often sell out; reserving via official ticketing or parking platforms in advance is strongly advised.
Arrive Early: Plan to arrive 45 to 60 minutes before scheduled tip-off or concert start times to avoid bottlenecks along the N Flint Ave and Broadway corridors.
Observe Clearance Limits: Measure your vehicle’s height if carrying roof luggage, bikes, or sports equipment before entering the garage ramps.
Note Your Stall Location: Take a photo of your parking deck level, pillar identifier, and nearest stairway for a stress-free return after late-night events.
