About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated directly at the corner of 20th Street and Blake Street in Denver\'s vibrant Lower Downtown (LoDo) district, 2000 Blake St Parking (1401 20th St) offers an exceptionally convenient parking destination. Operating primarily as an open-air surface parking lot, this facility provides seamless ground-level parking with no overhead clearance restrictions, making it an ideal choice for full-sized pickup trucks, large SUVs, roof-rack-equipped crossovers, and passenger vans that might otherwise struggle in Denver\'s low-clearance underground or multi-level garages. The open sightlines and clearly demarcated bays ensure hassle-free maneuvering for vehicles of all sizes.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

This parking location boasts one of the most advantageous positions in central Denver, directly across the street from the legendary gates of Coors Field, home of the MLB Colorado Rockies. Beyond baseball, it serves as an effortless jumping-off point for exploring downtown Denver:

Coors Field: Steps away (1–2 minute walk), offering unmatched convenience for game-day visitors and stadium concertgoers.
McGregor Square: Just across 20th Street (2-minute walk), featuring premier outdoor dining, sports bars, retail, and the open-air entertainment plaza.
Dairy Block: Located about 2 blocks away (4-minute walk), home to the Denver Milk Market, artisan eateries, and boutique cocktail lounges.
Denver Union Station: Within an easy 7-minute stroll (approx. 0.4 miles), offering extensive regional rail access, high-end restaurants, and transit connections.
Ball Arena & Elitch Gardens: Accessible within a brisk 15 to 20-minute walk or a 5-minute rideshare.
Larimer Square & 16th Street Mall: Approximately 8–10 minutes on foot, connecting drivers directly to downtown Denver\'s retail and business core.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Access to the lot is straightforward via 20th Street and Blake Street, both serving as central arteries through LoDo and the Ballpark neighborhood. Drivers arriving from Interstate 25 can take Exit 212C (Park Avenue West) or the 20th Street exit, bringing vehicles straight to the parking gate within minutes. While post-game egress can be busy as pedestrian crowds clear Coors Field, the lot\'s proximity to Park Avenue West allows for rapid routing back onto I-25 or I-70. Public transit commuters can easily walk to the RTD Light Rail and commuter train hub at Union Station or catch RTD local buses along 20th and 18th Streets.
