Facility Overview

UPS Alderwood Parking is situated at 10269 NE Alderwood Road in Northeast Portland, Oregon, within the thriving commercial and industrial corridor immediately adjacent to Portland International Airport (PDX). The facility features an expansive outdoor surface parking lot designed primarily to serve visitors, shipping customers, logistics partners, and staff accessing the major UPS Alderwood customer center and regional distribution hub. Because it is an open-air lot with no overhead structure, there are no vertical height restrictions, making it exceptionally accommodating for oversized vehicles, high-roof delivery vans, contractor pickup trucks, commercial utility vehicles, and passenger SUVs alike. Navigational aisles are generously proportioned to facilitate seamless vehicular flow alongside regional cargo operations.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During the busy morning (8:00 AM – 10:00 AM) and late afternoon dispatch windows (4:30 PM – 6:30 PM), traffic on NE Alderwood Road and surrounding arterials can be active with delivery vehicles and commuter traffic, so please allow extra transit time. Ensure you obey all posted signage designating customer spaces versus restricted employee or commercial fleet staging areas. Always remember to double-check operating hours for the customer counter prior to arrival if picking up or sending time-sensitive shipments, and secure all personal belongings out of plain view inside locked vehicles.
