The
Springfield Commuter Parking Garage, opening in September 2024, is designed to
serve as a multi-modal transit center, as well as a hub for community
activities. The facility includes 1,100
parking spaces, bike storage, commuter slug loading zones and Connector bus
transit center. For more information,
please visit https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/connector/park-and-ride
The facility
also has two flexible event spaces for use by community groups, County agencies
and private vendors. These public spaces
include a street-level open plaza, available for
use on evening and weekends for food trucks, farmers markets or small community
gatherings. In addition, there is a
roof-top park available all days of the week for a range of activities,
including arts and entertainment performances, exercise classes, corporate
events and other communal outdoor activities.
Fairfax
County intends to make these new public spaces available for community
activities and other public uses starting in 2025.
The top deck of the new garage will feature an innovative “green roof” plaza that will be made available for community events and activities, such as:
- Arts and entertainment performances
- Exercise classes
- Corporate events
- Communal outdoor activities
Amenities include a central green, permanent tables and seating, a roof garden, restrooms, catering kitchen and three elevators for ease of access from the ground floor. For more information about reserving the roof plaza, please contact Doug Loescher at douglas.loescher@fairfaxcounty.gov
