Facility Overview
The 1350 Grant St Garage provides a secure, well-maintained covered parking option in the heart of Denver\'s bustling Capitol Hill and Civic Center district. Located along Grant Street between East 13th Avenue and East 14th Avenue, this multi-level parking garage features sheltered, weather-protected stalls that shield vehicles from Colorado\'s winter snowstorms and intense summer sun. The facility is well-suited for standard compact cars, sedans, crossovers, and mid-sized SUVs. Due to standard multi-deck overhead clearances (typically around 6 feet 8 inches), drivers of oversized commercial vans, high-roof conversion vehicles, and lifted pickup trucks should check clearance signage before entering the ramp structure.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Visitor & Driver Tips
Because Grant Street flows one-way northbound, drivers should plan their approach from East 13th Avenue or 14th Avenue to align easily with the entry lanes. During the Colorado legislative session (January through May) and peak summer event weekends at Civic Center Park, garage stalls can fill quickly; reserving your space in advance via digital parking platforms is strongly recommended. Keep note of your parking level and stall number, and ensure all personal belongings are stowed out of sight before heading to your destination.
