Facility Overview
Garage A is a premier multi-level structured parking facility serving Rockville Town Square and the vibrant downtown core of Rockville, Maryland. Located at 20 Maryland Avenue, this modern garage provides hundreds of clean, sheltered parking spaces configured across multiple elevated decks. The facility is fully covered, shielding vehicles from rain, snow, and extreme summer heat. Layout planning includes wide driving aisles, well-demarcated bays, intuitive one-way circulation loops, and comprehensive overhead directional signage. Garage A accommodates standard passenger vehicles, minivans, crossovers, and full-size SUVs. While standard light-duty trucks and SUVs navigate the facility with ease, high-roof conversion vans, commercial cargo vehicles, and lifted pickup trucks should verify the posted overhead clearance (typically 7 feet 0 inches on upper levels, with ADA van-accessible clearances on the ground tier) before entering.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Take advantage of Rockville Town Square parking incentives: the garage frequently offers an initial grace period (such as the first 90 minutes to 2 hours free or validated with select merchant purchases). Keep your parking ticket with you when leaving your vehicle so you can pay at the pedestrian pay stations prior to returning to your car, allowing for a seamless exit. If you drive an electric vehicle, proceed directly to the 3rd floor to plug in. During Friday evenings, outdoor summer concert series, and holiday ice-skating weekends, arrive slightly ahead of peak hours to secure lower-level stalls and avoid brief post-event exit delays onto Maryland Avenue.
