Facility Overview
The Park America facility located at 1010 13th St NW is a secure, multi-level indoor garage situated in the heart of Washington, DC's vibrant downtown district. The facility provides a controlled, covered environment, protecting vehicles from weather elements. Please note the site has a maximum vehicle height clearance of 6 feet 7 inches. Due to low-hanging sprinkler lines, drivers of large SUVs, high-roof vans, or trucks should exercise caution and be aware of their vehicle dimensions. The garage layout is designed for self-parking, though during high-capacity events, the management may utilize valet-assist protocols, in which case keys must be left with on-site staff.
