These city-owned parking lots can be found throughout Portland, with nearly half located on the city’s west side.

Map with purple shaded areas and orange location markers showing the locations of Portland's city-owned parking lots.

This map shows the locations of 70 city-owned parking lots across Portland. Some parking lots are located in hotter, less-shaded areas where heat exposure is highest, while others are in cooler areas full of trees. The city should consider the best ways to address uncovered parking lots throughout the city, while prioritizing the neighborhoods that need relief first.
