About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in Denver’s vibrant Uptown and North Capitol Hill district, 1580 Pennsylvania St Parking provides convenient, uncovered open-air surface parking right in the heart of the city. Located on Pennsylvania Street between East Colfax Avenue and East 16th Avenue, this facility offers an open, ground-level layout that ensures straightforward navigation, easy stall pull-in, and clear sightlines throughout. Because it is a surface parking facility without overhead beams or low ceilings, it offers unrestricted vertical clearance, making it an exceptional choice not only for standard sedans and compact crossovers but also for lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, high-roof cargo and passenger vans, and vehicles equipped with roof racks or cargo carriers.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

The lot’s strategic positioning between central Downtown Denver and the historic Capitol Hill neighborhood places drivers within easy walking distance of major civic, cultural, and live entertainment venues:

Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception: Located just one block south on Colfax Avenue (under a 2-minute walk).
The Fillmore Auditorium & Ogden Theatre: Two of Denver’s most iconic concert halls are situated along Colfax Avenue, just a 5 to 8-minute walk east, making this lot a top destination for concertgoers looking to avoid venue traffic jams.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Entering and exiting the lot at 1580 Pennsylvania Street is quick and uncomplicated. Drivers can easily access the lot via East Colfax Avenue or East 16th Avenue. Thanks to its position just off major downtown thoroughfares, exiting onto northbound or southbound one-way corridors like Broadway and Lincoln Street is seamless, avoiding the deep bottlenecks typical of enclosed multi-tier downtown parking garages after major concerts or events. Regional connectivity is outstanding: Interstate 25 is accessible directly via Colfax Avenue (US-40/US-287) or Speer Boulevard. For public transit connections, RTD bus route 15 and the high-frequency 15L run along Colfax Avenue just steps away, and the free MallRide transit line along the 16th Street Mall is accessible a short walk to the west.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During sold-out weekend shows at the Ogden or Fillmore, surface spaces in this corridor can fill rapidly. Plan to arrive 30 to 45 minutes prior to door times to guarantee a spot. Be sure to note your license plate number before leaving your vehicle, as payment systems operate via pay-by-plate digital enforcement. Ensure you pay promptly upon parking and select enough time for your dinner or concert encore; mobile payment apps allow easy remote extensions if your plans run longer than anticipated.
