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.
