Facility Overview
850 Quincy Park Place Garage, managed by Atlantic Services Group (Atlantic Parking), is a modern covered parking facility situated beneath the Park Place at Petworth Metro mixed-use residential development in Northwest Washington, DC. Located at 850 Quincy St NW, just off the vibrant Georgia Avenue corridor in the historic Petworth neighborhood, this multi-level covered garage offers clean, weather-protected, and controlled self-parking. The garage features clearly delineated stalls, wide driving aisles, and well-lit subterranean decks engineered for safe maneuvering. It comfortably accommodates standard sedans, compact crossovers, minivans, and mid-to-full-size SUVs. While standard passenger vehicles navigate the facility with ease, drivers operating high-top commercial vans, lifted trucks, or vehicles equipped with high roof cargo racks should exercise caution when entering the garage entrance ramp on Quincy Street.

Navigating to the garage is straightforward via Georgia Avenue NW (US Route 29), one of Washington DC’s primary north-south arteries.

If you plan to park on a recurring basis, look into Atlantic Parking’s monthly parking specials, which frequently offer multi-month discounts. For daily or evening visits, pre-booking a parking pass through ParkChirp or affiliated parking apps ensures an entry barcode on your smartphone and guarantees your space during peak neighborhood dining hours.
