Facility Overview
The Edson Garage, professionally managed by Propark Mobility, is a multi-level structured parking facility serving the commercial and medical corridor at 11200 Rockville Pike in North Bethesda, Maryland. Situated just off the bustling MD-355 artery at the intersection with Edson Lane, this covered garage offers protected parking for office tenants, medical visitors, local shoppers, and commuters.
