About this Location

Facility Overview

NW Station Way & NW Lovejoy Ct - Lot #82 is a convenient, paved open-air surface parking lot strategically situated at 1025 NW Station Way in Portland, Oregon. Positioned right where the historic charm of Old Town and the transit vibrancy of Portland Union Station meet the trendy, modern corridor of the Pearl District, this lot provides straightforward, ground-level parking without the navigation headaches of multi-story ramps or underground parking decks. Because it is completely open-air with no overhead barriers, Lot #82 easily accommodates a wide variety of passenger vehicles, full-size SUVs, extended cab pickup trucks, work vans, and vehicles equipped with roof racks or ski boxes that normally exceed typical parking garage clearance limits.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Lot #82 puts drivers within minutes of Portland\'s finest cultural, dining, and transit destinations:
