Facility Overview
The parking lot situated at 11703 NE Glisan Street is an easily accessible, dedicated open-air surface parking facility serving the Glendoveer Center and Glendoveer Office Park commercial complex in East Portland's vibrant Hazelwood neighborhood. Conveniently located on the northern side of Northeast Glisan Street near the corner of NE 117th Avenue, the lot features a flat, single-level asphalt configuration laid out for seamless vehicular maneuverability.
