Facility Overview
Impark Parking Corporation operates a secure, covered multi-level underground parking garage conveniently situated at 1103 19th St NW in the heart of Washington, DC's vibrant Golden Triangle commercial district. Positioned between L Street NW and M Street NW, this garage delivers protected, subterranean parking shielded from seasonal District weather. The facility features marked standard stalls, dedicated accessible bays, and a streamlined lane circulation system with on-site attendant assistance during peak commuting hours.
Vehicle clearance in this garage is posted at approximately 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m), which comfortably accommodates sedans, station wagons, minivans, and compact-to-standard crossover SUVs. However, drivers of lifted pickup trucks, full-size extended-cab trucks, oversized conversion vans, commercial cargo vehicles, or cars equipped with rooftop bike racks and cargo capsules should seek nearby open-air surface lots due to vertical height and ramp turning radius limitations.
