Parking at the Wasington DC VA Medical Center on 50 Irving Street Northwest
The hospital provides on-site valet service at the main entrance for Veterans with appointments, operating from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday (va.gov). This is the clearest official parking option for a scheduled visit, particularly when walking between a remote space and a clinic would be difficult.
The official campus map identifies patient parking on the medical-center grounds and shows the campus approach from U.S. Route 50 west to New York Avenue, with the medical center on the left (va.gov). The valet entrance is at the main entrance (va.gov).
Arriving for Appointments and Emergency Care Near the Hospital Entrance
For a planned appointment, use the main entrance valet rather than treating the emergency entrance as a general parking area. The official listing places valet service at the main entrance and limits it to Veterans with appointments from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday (va.gov).
The campus map is intended to guide patient parking and directs drivers from U.S. Route 50 west to New York Avenue before reaching the medical center (va.gov). A separate listing identifies D.C. VA Medical Center satellite parking at 3700 N Capitol St NW (waze.com), which gives drivers a named alternative location to enter into navigation when the main campus is busy.
Street Parking and Residential Rules in Ward 5 Around 50 Irving Street Northwest
The hospital sits in Ward 5, near Howard University, at 50 Irving Street Northwest. The cited local parking material does not provide a reliable set of block-by-block residential permit rules, meter hours, or visitor limits for the surrounding streets, so a street space should not be treated as a dependable appointment plan.
Hospital Center Drive Northwest is identified as the closest parking location by one parking directory (spotangels.com). The official campus map separately identifies patient parking on the medical-center property (va.gov). Those two references make the distinction important: a public street space near the campus is not the same as the hospital's patient parking, while curb access may also be affected by signs, loading activity, or access requirements.
Parksy Parking Spaces Near the Hospital for Longer Visits and Shifts
For a longer stay, two Channing Street NE spaces are listed 0.6 mi from the hospital, each at $150 a month.
A private parking space 0.8 mi away costs $50 a week, while a secure garage 0.9 mi away costs $6.50 a day. A parking lot 0.9 mi away costs $7 a day, and the Rhode Island DMV parking garage 1.0 mi away costs $2 an hour. The weekly and monthly spaces suit shift workers better than hourly parking, while the daily and hourly choices are more practical for single visits when a longer walk is acceptable.
Brookland–CUA Station and Bus Access to the Hospital
Brookland–CUA Station is the nearest listed rail stop, 0.9 mi from the hospital and an 18-minute walk. The station is the most specific transit anchor for a car-free visit, with the walking distance and time providing a useful comparison against parking farther from the main entrance.

Drivers leaving a Parksy space can therefore use the station distance as the supported walking reference, while visitors starting elsewhere should plan around Brookland–CUA Station and the hospital address at 50 Irving Street Northwest. The campus map's road approach runs via U.S. Route 50 west to New York Avenue (va.gov), which also provides a clear landmark for taxi or rideshare drop-off.
