Facility Overview
The 3000 Vallejo Street Parking facility, operated by Parkwell, is a premier open-air surface parking lot situated in the heart of Denver's vibrant Lower Highland (LoHi) neighborhood. Positioned along Vallejo Street between West 30th Avenue and West 31st Avenue, this clean and well-maintained lot provides an efficient self-parking experience with seamless ingress and egress. Because the facility is entirely outdoor and surface-level, it features completely open headroom with zero vertical clearance limits. This makes the lot exceptionally versatile and accommodating for all vehicle types, ranging from compact passenger cars and electric sedans to lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, camper vans, high-roof cargo vans, and vehicles outfitted with roof boxes or bicycle racks.
