About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Downtown Denver, 1310 Welton St Parking offers a convenient, open-air surface lot directly positioned within the vibrant Central Business District. Positioned along Welton Street between 13th and 14th Streets, this facility provides an accessible, flat parking surface that avoids the tight turns, steep ramps, and low overhead barriers typical of multi-story parking structures. Because this is an open-air outdoor lot, it features unobstructed overhead clearance, making it an outstanding choice for standard passenger sedans as well as larger vehicles, including lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, conversion vans, and commercial fleet vehicles that cannot enter conventional covered garages.
