About this Location

Facility Overview

The 158 East 20th Avenue Parking lot is a conveniently situated open-air surface parking facility located at the bustling intersection of Denver’s historic Five Points, Uptown (North Capitol Hill), and the Central Business District. Positioned along East 20th Avenue between Lincoln and Sherman Streets, this parking facility offers straightforward self-parking on a paved, clearly striped footprint. Because it operates as an outdoor ground-level lot with no overhead barriers or height restrictions, it provides unobstructed vertical clearance. This makes it an outstanding parking option not only for standard sedans, compact cars, and crossovers, but also for full-size pickup trucks, oversized SUVs, commercial vans, and vehicles outfitted with roof racks or ski boxes that cannot navigate standard downtown Denver parking garages.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a hassle-free visit, have your license plate number ready upon arrival, as parking enforcement is verified electronically through license plate recognition. During Rockies home games, major civic festivals, and high-attendance downtown events, parking spots fill up quickly; arriving 30 to 45 minutes ahead of schedule guarantees seamless parking. If you plan to park overnight, always lock your vehicle, roll up windows completely, and stow all personal items and valuables securely out of plain sight.
