Facility Overview
Situated in Northeast Portland within the bustling NE Airport Way commercial and logistics corridor (ZIP 97220), this open-air surface parking facility provides convenient, uncomplicated vehicle staging and daily parking. Designed as an unobstructed ground-level asphalt lot, it accommodates a broad range of vehicles without the tight confines of multistory structures. Drivers of standard sedans, compact hatchbacks, crossover SUVs, and full-size pickup trucks will find maneuvering simple with generous turning radii and designated parking bays. Because it is completely open-to-sky, there are no vertical clearance height restrictions, making it an excellent option for high-profile vehicles, tradesperson vans, and rooftop cargo carriers.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Peak travel times along NE Airport Way and the I-205 interchange typically occur during weekday morning and late afternoon commute hours; plan for an additional 10 to 15 minutes of travel time if catching an outgoing flight. While the open layout provides generous clearance, always ensure your vehicle is locked with all personal belongings and travel luggage placed securely out of sight in the trunk. When navigating via GPS, utilize exact coordinates or search for NE Airport Way and NE 122nd Avenue to avoid taking industrial access service roads.
