Facility Overview
The Georgetown Park Garage, located at 1080 Wisconsin Ave NW, is a secure, multi-level indoor parking facility situated in the heart of Washington, D.C.’s historic Georgetown neighborhood. As one of the largest parking hubs in the area with 668 spaces, it provides a reliable and weather-protected parking solution. Please note that the facility has a strict maximum vehicle height clearance of 6 feet 4 inches. Due to these spatial constraints, the garage is best suited for standard passenger cars and smaller SUVs; high-roof vans, large commercial trucks, and lifted vehicles are not accommodated.

This garage is strategically positioned at the intersection of Georgetown’s primary commercial corridors, M Street and Wisconsin Avenue. It is within a short walking distance of:

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Accessing the garage via Wisconsin Avenue places you in the center of one of DC’s busiest districts. Traffic in Georgetown can be heavy, especially during weekends and peak shopping hours. For transit users, the location is served by various bus lines (including the DC Circulator) that traverse M Street and Wisconsin Avenue. While Georgetown does not have a direct Metrorail station, the Foggy Bottom-GWU station (Blue, Orange, and Silver lines) is the closest subway hub, located about a mile away, often requiring a short bus or rideshare connection.
