About this Location

Facility Overview

The 1900-1922 Broadway St Parking facility is a conveniently situated outdoor surface lot located in the vibrant core of Downtown Boulder, Colorado. Positioned along Broadway between Walnut Street and Pearl Street, this open-air lot offers straightforward drive-up access and direct connections to Boulder\'s most celebrated shopping, dining, and cultural districts. Because it is an unobstructed open surface facility, drivers benefit from open-sky vertical clearance, making it suitable not only for compact sedans and standard family crossovers, but also for full-size pickup trucks, SUVs, and high-profile passenger vans equipped with roof racks or ski boxes that cannot navigate standard covered multi-level garages.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

This parking location serves as an optimal gateway to Downtown Boulder and surrounding landmarks:

Pearl Street Mall: Just a 2 to 3-minute walk (less than two blocks north) to Boulder\'s premier four-block pedestrian promenade filled with boutique shopping, street performers, artisan coffee shops, and award-winning dining.
Boulder Creek Path & Central Park: Located roughly 2 blocks south (a 4-minute walk), providing immediate foot access to shaded parklands, seasonal events, and the Boulder Farmers Market held along 13th Street.
Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse: A scenic 5-minute stroll south, showcasing handcrafted Persian architecture and global culinary offerings.
Boulder County Historic Courthouse & Civic Area: Situated directly nearby, making this an ideal stopping point for municipal business, civic meetings, or local courthouse appointments.
University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder): Approximately 15 to 20 minutes walking south along Broadway or a 5-minute ride on the HOP or local RTD bus lines, providing accessible parking just off campus.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Vehicular ingress and egress are accessed easily from Broadway, one of Boulder\'s primary north-south transit corridors, with direct alley access connecting through the block. Outbound drivers can easily navigate onto Canyon Boulevard (CO-119) for smooth connections east toward Highway 36 (Denver/Broomfield) or west up Boulder Canyon into the Rocky Mountains. For travelers connecting to mass transit, the Downtown Boulder Transit Center (14th & Walnut) is just two blocks away, offering direct RTD routes, the Flatiron Flyer (FF1) to Denver, and local lines like the SKIP and HOP.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During peak shopping hours on sunny weekends and summer festival days, spots in downtown surface lots fill up rapidly; arriving before 11:00 AM or after 6:00 PM ensures a smoother parking experience. Always review posted signage at the stall or lot entrance to verify applicable payment hours, maximum stay rules, and payment app zone numbers before leaving your vehicle.
