About this Location

Facility Overview

SLICE Parking at 4800 Hampden Lane serves drivers visiting downtown Bethesda and the bustling Bethesda Row retail and business district in Montgomery County, Maryland. Positioned in a modern commercial and residential structure, this multi-level covered parking facility offers clean, well-maintained spaces designed to accommodate standard passenger vehicles, compact cars, cross-overs, and mid-sized SUVs. Due to standard subterranean and covered deck overhead structural clearances (typically posted around 6 feet 6 inches to 6 feet 8 inches), drivers of high-roof conversion vans, oversized commercial utility trucks, or roof-rack-equipped vehicles should exercise caution and verify posted entryway clearances prior to driving past the gate.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Bethesda Row experiences heavy vehicular and pedestrian traffic during weekday lunch hours and on Friday and Saturday evenings; arriving slightly early will help secure lower-level spaces close to elevators. Remember your vehicle license plate number or retain your entry ticket in a safe place, as you may need to validate or pay at a central pay station before returning to your car. If your vehicle features rooftop accessories, cargo boxes, or lifted suspension, always double-check overhead clearance bars at the Hampden Lane entry barrier to prevent roof damage.
