Facility Overview
Impark Lot #112 at 8455 Colesville Road is a secure, professionally managed parking garage serving the vibrant commercial core of Downtown Silver Spring, Maryland. Situated within a high-density office and transit corridor, this multi-level covered parking facility provides dependable shelter from adverse weather conditions for everyday commuters, event attendees, and business visitors.
