About this Location

Facility Overview

HHS Parking at 12354 Wilkins Avenue is an expansive, open-air surface parking facility situated in the vibrant commercial and light-industrial district of Rockville, Maryland. Positioned just off Parklawn Drive and within close reach of the Twinbrook corridor, this parking lot provides accessible, ground-level parking spaces designed to serve government contractors, local workforce personnel, logistical operators, and everyday visitors. Because this facility is an outdoor surface lot, it offers completely unrestricted vertical clearance, making it an outstanding parking option not only for standard sedans, compact crossovers, and family SUVs, but also for lifted pickup trucks, high-roof cargo vans, and commercial fleet vehicles that cannot enter typical multi-story parking garages.
