Facility Overview
The 7500 Old Georgetown Road Parking Garage is a premier covered parking facility located in the heart of downtown Bethesda, Maryland. Situated within a bustling commercial corridor, this multi-level garage offers structured, weather-protected parking designed to accommodate standard passenger vehicles, sedans, and crossover SUVs. Drivers should note that due to standard urban parking structure design, large full-size pickup trucks, high-roof conversion vans, or vehicles with oversized roof racks may face vertical clearance constraints typical of metropolitan garages. Always observe posted height signage upon entry.
