Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a stress-free parking experience, we recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before any planned appointments or transit departures, especially during weekday rush hours. We suggest checking local parking apps ahead of time to confirm the most current rates and any potential event-day adjustments. Since this is an open-air facility, remember to lock your vehicle and remove any valuables from plain sight. If you are using a GPS, verify that your navigation directs you to the correct street entrance to avoid one-way street complications common in Washington neighborhoods.
