Facility Overview

Located at 11824 NE Ainsworth Circle in the Parkrose and Columbia Corridor commercial district of Northeast Portland, this open-air surface parking lot provides convenient, ground-level parking adjacent to multi-tenant industrial and transportation facilities. The lot features wide drive aisles and unobstructed maneuvering space designed to support commercial vehicles, fleet operations, and standard commuter traffic.

Because the facility is an open surface lot with no overhead decks, multi-story ramps, or low overhead pipes, it has zero vertical height clearance restrictions. It comfortably accommodates standard sedans, light pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, high-roof passenger and cargo vans (including Mercedes-Benz Sprinters and Ford Transits), and commercial utility vehicles. Drivers can navigate the entryways and stall layouts without concern for low clearances.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When traveling to 11824 NE Ainsworth Circle, program the full address into your navigation app to ensure routing onto the Ainsworth Circle loop rather than residential streets to the west. While local loop traffic is typically calm, allow extra transit time if traveling toward I-205 or NE Airport Way during peak weekday commuter periods (7:00 AM to 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM).

Please observe posted parking signs upon arrival to ensure you do not block active warehouse roll-up doors, designated freight loading docks, or specifically reserved fleet parking stalls. As a standard safety precaution in the Portland metropolitan area, always roll up windows completely, lock vehicle doors, and ensure that personal belongings, tools, and luggage are stored out of sight.
