About this Location

Facility Overview

Lot 99 is an open-air surface parking facility situated along the bustling Southeast McLoughlin Boulevard (Oregon Route 99E) corridor in the Jennings Lodge and Oak Grove area of greater Portland (ZIP code 97267). Positioned directly in Clackamas County between Milwaukie to the north and Gladstone and Oregon City to the south, this expansive outdoor lot features an unobstructed layout with ground-level vehicular stalls.
