About this Location

Facility Overview

The Herndon Metro Station Parking facility, located at 585 A Herndon Parkway in Herndon, Virginia, serves as a cornerstone transit hub for western Fairfax County and the Dulles Technology Corridor. Positioned directly adjacent to the Washington Metrorail Silver Line, this modern parking facility provides convenient, multi-level garage and surface spaces engineered to streamline regional commutes and visits to Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C. The facility features wide driving lanes, well-delineated stalls, modern signage, and expansive sightlines. Standard sedans, crossovers, and full-size SUVs can navigate the ramps and bays with ease. Drivers of oversized vehicles, work trucks with ladders, or high-roof commercial vans should observe posted vertical clearance restrictions at the garage entrance (typically 8 feet 2 inches on the ground level and 7 feet 0 inches on upper decks), while open-air surface bays accommodate taller vehicle profiles.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Parking is managed by Fairfax County in partnership with WMATA. Standard commuter parking fees apply on non-holiday weekdays, while parking is typically free on weekends and federal holidays. If you plan to connect to the Metrorail, make sure you pay using the same SmarTrip card or linked digital payment method used for your train fare to ensure accurate commuter rates. Arrive before 8:00 AM on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays to secure lower-level parking spots closest to the pedestrian bridge walkway.
