About this Location

Facility Overview

The surface parking lot at 8033–8035 SE Holgate Boulevard provides open-air ground-level vehicle parking in Southeast Portland, strategically situated just off the busy intersection of SE Holgate Boulevard and SE 82nd Avenue. Positioned at the crossroads of the Foster-Powell, Mount Scott-Arleta, and Jade District neighborhoods, this dedicated commercial lot services on-site medical and professional establishments, including the Grifols Biomat USA donor center, Golden Dawn Clinic, GDC Pharmacy, and local healthcare practices. The lot features an organized, flat asphalt surface with clearly painted stalls, direct sidewalk interfaces, and wide travel aisles that make navigating and turning hassle-free.

Because it is an open-air surface facility without structural overhead decks, there are no vertical clearance restrictions. This open headroom layout makes it exceptionally suitable for a wide variety of vehicles, including standard compacts and sedans, full-sized pickup trucks, multi-passenger SUVs, commercial delivery vehicles, high-roof conversion vans, and ADA-equipped wheelchair transport vans.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During weekday peak donation and clinic operating hours (particularly mid-morning and late afternoon), parking spaces closest to building entrances fill quickly; drivers with large pickups or SUVs may prefer parking along the perimeter of the lot for easier turnaround maneuverability. When departing during evening rush hours, turning east toward 82nd Avenue or exiting across westbound traffic requires patience due to corridor congestion. As with any open metropolitan surface lot in Portland, always lock vehicle doors, roll up windows completely, and remove or conceal any bags, chargers, and personal belongings from view.
