Parking Options for Members & Guests

When most people come to MAC, the first thing they experience on their trip is parking. As simple as that may sound, many know that parking in Portland can be challenging. Luckily, MAC has a dedicated parking garage for members. But what about when members bring guests, or nonmembers come to the club to attend an event? Where do they park?

Members & Personal Guests

The MAC member garage has 526 parking spaces reserved for members only and 10 spaces dedicated to handicap parking. Since the garage gates were installed in the fall of 2022, they have helped prevent nonmembers from parking in the members-only spaces. Members, of course, typically access the garage using their vehicle parking credentials or member ID card and can check parking availability beforehand by viewing the counter on the MAC website or mobile app.

Personal guests who join a member at the club for a purpose such as dining, working out, or attending a personal meeting may park in the garage. They should pull a parking ticket upon entry and have it validated inside the club before departing. Guests who come to the club to attend an event, watch a Timbers or Thorns match, or participate in an organized competitive athletic activity are not considered personal guests and should park in the designated areas for event parking described in the next section.

Event Guests

Nonmembers who come to visit the club, watch a Timbers or Thorns game, or attend an event are not authorized to park in the member garage. They may park in the overflow garage, located at 901 SW 20th Avenue, just north of the intersection of SW Salmon Street and SW 20th Avenue. This garage has 55 spaces, is marked for event parking, and is staffed by a security officer when in use. It also has a pay station that charges event guests $15 for the day. Nonmember tennis team players are to park in this garage as well using a code for free parking. During larger events, the surface parking lot across from Providence Park on SW 20th Avenue may be available. Please do not use this lot during regular business hours or on MLS game days unless communication from MAC indicates that it is available.

Oversized Vehicles

The member garage maximum height limit is 6 feet, 8.5 inches, and the overflow garage maximum height limit is 6 feet. If a vehicle is too large to fit in the garages safely, oversized parking is available. There are three spaces on the lot just south of the member garage on SW 19th Avenue, between SW Main and SW Madison Streets, and there are three spaces in the surface lot across from Providence Park, up against the garage wall. All these spaces are marked as “MAC Oversized Vehicle Parking.”

The goal is to ensure members always have accessible parking available when they arrive at the club, which is why the member garage is, for the most part, exclusive parking for members. The Events department communicates guest parking options for each event so that nonmembers are steered toward the overflow guest parking areas. Please see the map showing MAC parking areas, as well as pay-to-park public parking lots in the vicinity of the club.
