Facility Overview

The parking lot situated at 11133 NE Halsey St serves the active commercial retail property in Northeast Portland's Parkrose Heights and Gateway district, anchored by the long-standing neighborhood destination McGillacuddy's Sports Bar & Grill. This facility is configured as an open-air surface parking lot directly adjoining the building, offering level-grade surface parking with intuitive drive aisles. Because it is completely open-air without any parking deck ceilings, low-hanging pipes, or restrictive overhead barriers, it boasts virtually unlimited vertical clearance. This makes the lot exceptionally accommodating for standard passenger cars, large pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, commercial utility vans, and vehicles equipped with roof racks or cargo carriers.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Drivers visiting during major televised sporting events, championship game days, or weekend evenings should plan to arrive 20 to 30 minutes early to secure a parking stall close to the building. When exiting onto NE Halsey Street during the weekday evening rush hour (4:00 PM to 6:30 PM), exercise extra caution and watch for both eastbound commuter traffic and cyclists using dedicated bike lanes. As with any open parking area in the Portland metro region, drivers are always encouraged to take standard urban precautions: roll up all windows, lock vehicle doors, and keep all personal bags, tools, and electronics concealed out of plain view.
