What are these weird structures in Chinatown?

Recommended Posts

In Little China Park, a park located near Chinatown in Portland, there's area where several weird structures are placed. Check the image below.

Some say these are exercise machines, but i don't think so.

As you can see, cars fit perfectly in it. Someone said this place was originally going to be a customization shop, but there's no information about this place.

Although It definitely looks like some kind of car lifting machine, but it's useless because there's no space below the car.

I always thought this place was going to be more than empty area we have now, because it has dedicated road as demonstrated in the above image.

 

What do you guys think this place is(or was going to be)? Is there anything I missed while I am researching this place? Let me know!

Those are car lifts, used to increase storage space in lots and garages.

It would have been cool if they worked and you could crush cars on the bottom.

For 20 odd years I've been thinking they were exercise machines.

 

A 20 year old game still has secrets...

I also thought those were exercise machines before someone told me it's car lifting machines few years ago :D

 

but I had no idea those machines were actually car lifting machine for parking lot.

 

These days, I play GTA 3 to find new mysteries :)

Better question is why would the car lifts even be there to begin with. Its such a curious area to have them.

Not that it needed any more confirmation, but the model names for those objects are indeed "carlift01/carlift02" and the surrounding wall is named "carwall".

I agree. Although the park is populated, it doesn't look like it needs car lifts. It would've make sense if they were in regions like Aspatria or Torrington.
