About this Location

Facility Overview

Randall Parking is an open-air surface parking facility situated at 100 H St SW in Washington, DC, directly serving the historic Randall Recreation Center campus and the revitalized cultural hub at the intersection of Southwest Waterfront and Capitol Riverfront. Positioned immediately adjacent to the iconic former Randall Junior High School—now home to the contemporary Rubell Museum DC and the Gallery 64 residential arts complex—this facility offers straightforward ground-level vehicular parking. Laid out as an outdoor asphalt lot with clearly delineated parking stalls, the facility does not impose the vertical clearance ceilings typically encountered across downtown D.C. parking garages. Drivers operating high-roof transit vans, lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs with rooftop luggage containers, or specialized mobility vans can maneuver and park without clearance constraints.
