About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Upper Downtown Denver, 1505 Glenarm Pl Parking offers a convenient, open-air surface parking facility strategically positioned between 15th Street and the bustling 16th Street Mall corridor. Because this is an unobstructed outdoor surface lot, it provides an exceptional parking solution for drivers navigating the Central Business District (CBD) who wish to avoid tight, multi-story parking structures. Drivers of lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, crossover utility vehicles, and passenger vans will appreciate the absence of low-clearance ceiling beams, allowing effortless entry and departure. Standard passenger cars, electric vehicles, and commercial vans can maneuver smoothly through the marked lanes and standard surface stalls.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Due to its premier downtown location, demand can surge dramatically during major evening concerts at the Paramount Theatre or during large conferences at the Colorado Convention Center. Arriving 30 to 45 minutes ahead of scheduled curtain times ensures hassle-free stall selection. When paying on-site, be sure to have your vehicle license plate number memorized or photographed, as modern pay-by-plate systems require plate entry rather than placing paper receipts on your dashboard. Pay close attention to posted rate signs, as flat evening or event rates often supersede standard hourly tariffs during peak downtown Denver happenings.
