Washington Capitals Parking
Parking tips for Washington Capitals
Capital One Arena sits in D.C.'s Chinatown and Penn Quarter, so parking spans nearby commercial garages and street options, with no large arena-owned lot. Game-day demand climbs for weekend and rivalry dates, and Metro is the standout alternative, with Gallery Place-Chinatown station beneath the building. Prepaying a garage or taking the train trims both cost and hassle.
1. Ride Metro to Gallery Place-Chinatown, which sits directly under the arena.
2. Park in garages a few blocks out for rates below the closest Penn Quarter lots.
3. Prepay or reserve parking through an app for busy weekend and rivalry games.
4. Check the last Metro train times if you stay for a late finish.
5. Plan your exit route ahead, as downtown streets back up after the final horn.
