About this Location

Facility Overview

The Colonial Parking facility located at 30 Massachusetts Ave NE, Washington, DC, is a strategically positioned surface lot serving the bustling NoMa and Union Station corridor. As an open-air surface lot, it offers significant advantages for drivers who find navigating traditional multi-level parking garages challenging. The lot provides ample space suitable for standard passenger sedans, full-size SUVs, and pickup trucks, and because it is a surface-level facility, it is ideal for vehicles with high rooflines that might otherwise face clearance restrictions in underground decks.
