Facility Overview
The surface parking facility at 1002 NE 122nd Ave provides accessible and practical parking in Portland's lively Hazelwood neighborhood within the East Portland district. Configured as an unobstructed, open-air ground-level surface lot, this location serves visitors to local medical, dental, and professional offices—including the NW Implant Center and adjacent commercial suites—as well as travelers navigating the bustling 122nd Avenue commercial corridor. The lot features direct ground access and standard-width parking bays designed for smooth maneuvering.
Because the lot is open to the sky with no overhead decks, low hanging pipes, or height barrier bars, vehicle clearance is completely unrestricted. Standard sedans, compact crossovers, large pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, high-top passenger vans, and light commercial vehicles can comfortably pull in and park without vertical clearance concerns.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Traffic along NE 122nd Avenue can become dense during weekday morning and evening commute hours; when traveling south from I-84, position yourself early in the right-hand lane to make a smooth turn into the lot driveway. When departing, turning left onto northbound 122nd Avenue can experience delays during peak periods; utilizing nearby signalized intersections at NE Halsey or NE Glisan can offer a safer and faster route. If you are visiting a specific clinic or office at this address, confirm your appointment parking validation or designated client spaces upon arrival.
