About this Location

Facility Overview

Lot #91, located at 1120 SW Salmon St in the vibrant West End of Downtown Portland, is a conveniently situated open-air surface parking facility. Positioned directly between the cultural hub of the South Park Blocks and the energetic sports atmosphere surrounding Providence Park, this lot provides an accessible and straightforward ground-level parking option for commuters, residents, and visitors alike. Because it is an open surface lot without overhead barriers or multi-level ceiling decks, Lot #91 easily accommodates tall SUVs, commercial vans, pickup trucks with roof racks, and other high-clearance passenger vehicles that standard downtown parking garages cannot accommodate.
