Facility Overview
The ABM Parking Services location at 515 M St SE is strategically positioned in the vibrant Navy Yard neighborhood of Washington, D.C. This facility primarily serves as a high-demand surface parking lot, offering efficient access for vehicles of standard dimensions. While the lot provides excellent maneuverability for passenger cars, sedans, and SUVs, drivers of oversized high-roof vans or long-bed trucks should exercise caution regarding specific stall demarcations. As an open-air facility, there are no vertical clearance restrictions common to indoor garages, making it a highly accessible choice for larger personal vehicles.

The lot features well-defined entry and exit points designed to facilitate smooth traffic flow, even during peak event hours. Drivers have quick access to major transit arteries, including the Southeast-Southwest Freeway (I-695), ensuring efficient travel in and out of the city.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a hassle-free experience, we strongly recommend booking your spot in advance through mobile parking apps, especially during major home games or concert series when event-day surge pricing may apply. Arriving at least 60-90 minutes before the start of a stadium event is advisable to bypass peak traffic congestion. Always input the precise address into your GPS, as the area features several similarly named streets. Keep your parking confirmation readily available for quick scanning upon entry.
