Parking
A relatively large metered parking lot sits across from the
Arlington Courthouse. A massive underground garage exists underneath
three large buildings along Clarendon Blvd and stretches underneath the AMC
movie complex. The Courthouse, Jail, Police Station and most other important
Arlington County administrative functions occur within a two block area.
While it is one of the safest areas of the county, your chances of getting
ticketed are higher here than anywhere outside of the District .
Use the garage after 5 PM and on weekends (it is
FREE during these times) when the spaces above ground near Summers
are filled. Just make sure you allow yourself a little extra time to park
the car and emerge from the bowels of the complex. The lower levels usually
do not fill up on weekends, but weekdays until 5 PM are reserved for the
businesses that inhabit the complex. Take your bearings and walk to
Summers in time NOT to miss any early goals.
