About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Boulder near the vibrant University Hill district and adjacent to the University of Colorado Boulder campus, 14TH Lane Ct Parking offers a convenient open-air parking solution for students, campus visitors, event attendees, and locals. This surface-level parking area provides uncomplicated pull-in and back-out parking bays with clear sightlines.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Parking spaces in the University Hill and campus border zones fill up rapidly on weekdays between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM, as well as on weekend evenings. If visiting for a Buffaloes home game or a sellout concert at the Fox Theatre, plan to arrive at least 45 to 60 minutes early to secure a stall. Always verify posted curb signage, residential permit zone boundaries, and time restrictions before leaving your vehicle to avoid city parking citations.
