Facility Overview
Wharf Parking Garage 2, located at 21 Parker Row, serves as a primary subterranean parking hub for The Wharf, Washington DC\'s premier waterfront destination. This modern, multi-level underground facility offers secure, covered parking, protecting your vehicle from the elements. The garage is designed for standard passenger vehicles, sedans, and SUVs. While the facility is spacious, drivers operating high-roof commercial vans or vehicles with oversized cargo racks should exercise caution and adhere to the standard height clearance signage posted at the garage entrance to avoid overhead obstruction.
