About this Location

Facility Overview

The 17th Street Plaza Parking Garage, operated by Parkwell, is a premier multi-level covered parking facility located at 1272 18th Street in the heart of Downtown Denver. Situated directly between Denver\'s bustling Central Business District (CBD) and the historic Lower Downtown (LoDo) district, this structured parking garage provides secure, weather-protected vehicle storage for daily commuters, eventgoers, and weekend visitors. The garage features smooth entry and exit lanes, clearly marked stalls, and high-efficiency circulation ramps. While standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, and mid-sized SUVs can easily navigate the interior decks, drivers of lifted pickup trucks, full-size extended SUVs, and high-roof commercial vans should pay close attention to posted vertical overhead clearance limits (typically 6 feet 8 inches) before entering.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Strategically positioned just off Denver\'s iconic 17th Street—often heralded as the \'Wall Street of the West\'—this parking garage sits within short walking distance of many of the city\'s foremost cultural, sporting, and dining destinations:

Coors Field: Home of the Colorado Rockies, located less than a 10-minute walk (approx. 0.4 miles) away, making this garage a preferred hassle-free alternative to congested ballpark surface lots.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress to the garage is positioned conveniently along 18th Street between Lawrence Street and Larimer Street, allowing drivers to bypass the heaviest pedestrian choke points closer to the ballpark.

For those connecting to public transit, the RTD Free MallRide runs along 16th Street, while Denver Union Station provides regional commuter rail services, including the University of Colorado A Line train directly to Denver International Airport (DEN).
