About this Location

Facility Overview

SmartPark Naito & Davis is a major city-owned, multi-level covered parking structure centrally positioned at 33 NW Davis Street in Portland's historic Old Town Chinatown district. Operated under the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) SmartPark network, this multi-deck facility provides hundreds of clean, sheltered, and budget-friendly spaces just steps from the downtown waterfront. The facility features a maximum vertical vehicle clearance of 6 feet 9 inches (6'9"), easily accommodating standard passenger sedans, crossovers, mid-size SUVs, and standard-height pickup trucks. However, high-roof conversion vans, lifted trucks, or commercial utility vehicles exceeding the height threshold should utilize nearby open-air surface lots to avoid clearance hazards.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a seamless visit, keep your entry ticket or utilize digital checkout on mobile payment channels before returning to your vehicle. While SmartPark Naito & Davis is one of the most cost-effective garages in Portland—featuring low hourly rates and economical weekend/evening caps—parking fills quickly during sunny summer weekends, Waterfront Park festivals, and major Saturday Market days; arriving before 10:30 AM is strongly recommended during major events. Always remember to check your vehicle's roofline if carrying rooftop ski racks, cargo boxes, or bike mounts against the 6'9" ceiling marker, and as standard practice across downtown metropolitan centers, ensure all shopping bags, chargers, and personal valuables are hidden or removed from the car before heading out.
