Facility Overview
The Patient Parking Lot at Legacy Meridian Park Medical Center serves as a primary, dedicated parking destination for individuals visiting the hospital campus in Tualatin, Oregon. Positioned immediately off SW 65th Avenue and SW Borland Road, this open-air surface lot provides seamless, ground-level access to the Main Hospital entrance, the Emergency Department, the Family Birth Center, and Medical Plazas 1 and 2. Because this is an expansive surface facility, it features open-sky clearance with no vertical overhead barriers, making it exceptionally well-suited for oversized passenger vehicles, full-size pickup trucks, large SUVs, and high-roof wheelchair-accessible conversion vans that cannot fit inside standard multi-level garages.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
While primarily dedicated to patients, caregivers, and medical visitors, the lot is located in the southeastern medical district of Tualatin, situated just east of Interstate 5 and minutes from neighboring Lake Oswego and West Linn. The lot is positioned within immediate walking distance of all key facilities across the Legacy Meridian Park campus, including specialized clinics, outpatient surgical suites, and the Meridian Park Radiation Oncology Center. Beyond the medical campus, popular local destinations are a short 5- to 10-minute drive away, including the shopping and dining amenities at Nyberg Woods and Nyberg Rivers (featuring Bass Pro Shops and New Seasons Market, 1.5 miles west), scenic walking paths at Browns Ferry Park along the Tualatin River (2 miles northwest), community events around the lake at Tualatin Commons (2.2 miles west), and premier shopping at Bridgeport Village (3 miles north).
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Arriving at the facility is straightforward thanks to its proximity to two major regional thoroughfares. Motorists arriving via Interstate 5 can take Exit 289 (Nyberg Road/Tualatin), proceed east onto SW Nyberg Road as it curves into SW 65th Avenue, and turn directly onto the hospital grounds. Visitors arriving from Interstate 205 can take Exit 3 (Stafford Road), head to SW Borland Road, and follow it west directly to the campus. Campus ring roads feature wide two-way lanes with clear blue hospital directional signage guiding drivers to designated patient bays, emergency entrance lanes, and passenger drop-off turnarounds. Public transit riders can connect via TriMet bus line 76 (Hall/Greenburg), which stops directly along SW 65th Avenue adjacent to the hospital grounds, offering connections to the Tualatin WES Commuter Rail Station and the wider Portland metropolitan transit network.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Parking throughout the Legacy Meridian Park Medical Center campus is complimentary for patients and their accompanying visitors, so there is no need to pull tickets or register via mobile apps. During peak clinic hours—typically between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM on weekdays—spaces closest to the front doors of Medical Plazas 1 and 2 can fill quickly; allow 10 to 15 extra minutes before your scheduled appointment time to find a stall and walk inside comfortably. If traveling with an individual with limited mobility, consider using the sheltered drop-off circle at the main hospital entrance first before proceeding to park. If the surface stalls are fully occupied, overflow covered parking is available within the adjacent campus parking garage.
