About this Location

Facility Overview

Located at 1900 F St NW in the heart of Washington, D.C., this parking facility serves the Foggy Bottom neighborhood and the immediate vicinity of George Washington University.

Use navigation apps like Waze or Google Maps to monitor real-time traffic, as F Street can experience unexpected congestion due to motorcades or local street closures.
Be mindful of event-day surge pricing; check signage upon entry to confirm current hourly or daily rates.
