About this Location

Facility Overview

The 1601 Wewatta St Garage, officially accessed at 1674 Chestnut Place, is a premier, modern covered parking structure serving the vibrant Union Station and Central Platte Valley districts of Lower Downtown (LoDo) Denver. Situated directly adjacent to Denver Union Station, this facility features a secure, clean, multi-level underground parking deck designed to accommodate daily office commuters, event attendees, and neighborhood visitors. The garage easily accommodates standard passenger cars, compact vehicles, and mid-to-full-size SUVs. Standard parking spaces are clearly delineated with wide drive aisles for hassle-free maneuvering. Drivers of high-clearance lifted trucks, oversized commercial vans, or vehicles with roof cargo boxes should verify posted entrance height warnings upon entry (standard urban clearance is approximately 7\'0\").

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because the garage is positioned on Chestnut Place behind the main 1601 Wewatta office tower, set your GPS directly to 1674 Chestnut Pl to ensure smooth guidance directly to the ramp entrance. During Rockies home games or major sellout concerts at Ball Arena, nearby streets can experience heavier traffic; arriving 45–60 minutes early is strongly encouraged. Reserving parking in advance via popular mobile apps guarantees space and locks in competitive rates during high-demand downtown event surges.
