Facility Overview
Situated along the active commercial corridor of Northeast Halsey Street in Portland's Hazelwood and Gateway districts, the Rounders Parking Lot provides convenient open-air surface parking at 11418 NE Halsey St. Designed primarily as an asphalt parking apron directly serving local storefronts, casual dining establishments, and neighborhood entertainment, the lot offers a practical, single-level ground layout. Drivers benefit from an unobstructed outdoor design with no vertical height restrictions, allowing standard passenger sedans, full-size pickup trucks, commercial vans, and roof-rack-equipped SUVs to park comfortably without low-clearance concerns.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
The lot sits centrally positioned within the Gateway regional trade area, surrounded by popular neighborhood dining, shopping, and community amenities. Immediate culinary staples include Rounders Bar and Lotto, the landmark Gateway Breakfast House directly across the street, and Asian specialties at Lily Market and Deli located just three blocks west. Entertainment seekers will appreciate being less than a two-minute walk from Hour to Midnight Escape Rooms. For outdoor recreation, Gateway Discovery Park with its skate plaza and picnic grounds is roughly half a mile to the west, while the 36-hole Glendoveer Golf Course and fitness nature trail is just a 5-minute drive east along Halsey.

Visitor & Driver Tips
When pulling into the lot during peak morning breakfast hours or Friday and Saturday evening social hours, exercise caution along NE Halsey Street as through-traffic moves quickly. Always park within painted stall lines to keep vehicular lanes unobstructed for delivery vehicles and emergency access. Ensure your vehicle is securely locked with all personal belongings placed out of plain sight. If you are taking transit further into Portland, use the dedicated long-term park-and-ride garage at the Gateway Transit Center to avoid vehicle ticketing or towing rules set for local business patrons.
