About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated along the busy Pacific Highway corridor in Southwest Portland, the parking facility at 11394 SW Barbur Boulevard (sharing its parcel footprint with 11340 SW 60th Avenue) provides accessible open-air ground parking in Portland's Far Southwest / West Portland Park district, right along the Tigard municipal boundary. Designed as a traditional, single-level asphalt surface lot, the facility offers wide drive aisles and unobstructed maneuvering space that accommodates standard passenger cars, large pickup trucks, full-size commercial and family SUVs, and extended cargo or passenger vans. Because there are no overhead ceiling decks, low canopies, or overhead beams typical of multi-level garages, high-profile and rooftop-rack vehicles enjoy unlimited vertical clearance across the parking area.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When approaching the lot during weekday morning and late-afternoon rush hours, traffic on SW Barbur Boulevard can become congested near the I-5 interchange ramps. Using SW 60th Avenue provides a gentler turning radius and easier merging opportunities. If visiting on-site hospitality, commercial, or retail services, remember to check posted lot signs for designated customer bays or check-in instructions at the front desk. Drivers traveling in oversized conversion vans or utility vehicles should aim for the outer perimeter parking stalls to ensure optimal turning clearance.
