About this Location

Facility Overview

The 3535 Larimer Street parking lot (also identified by its Downing Street parcel at 3625 N Downing St) provides essential open-air surface parking in Denver’s vibrant River North Art District (RiNo). Positioned right at the intersection of Larimer Street and North Downing Street, this ground-level parking lot offers an uncomplicated, self-park layout designed for rapid turnover and hassle-free maneuvering. Because the lot is completely open-air without ceiling beams or overhead clearance restrictions, it comfortably accommodates a wide spectrum of passenger and commercial vehicles, including lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs with ski or cargo racks, tradesperson vans, and high-roof passenger vans that cannot enter standard parking garages.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Located in the creative core of RiNo, this parking facility places motorists directly amidst one of Denver\'s most sought-after cultural, culinary, and entertainment corridors. Guests are within immediate walking distance of:

RiNo Art District Murals & Galleries: World-class street murals, open galleries, and creative studio spaces line Larimer Street right outside the lot.
Boutique Breweries & Distilleries: Renowned local craft breweries, cideries, and taprooms including Ratio Beerworks, Our Mutual Friend Brewing, and Bierstadt Lagerhaus are within a 5- to 10-minute stroll.
Dining & Nightlife Hotspots: Award-winning restaurants, cocktail lounges, and food halls like The Denver Central Market are accessible within an easy 8- to 12-minute walk down Larimer.
Mission Ballroom & Brighton Boulevard Venues: Located just over a mile to the north, offering a convenient park-and-walk or quick rideshare option for major concert events.
Coors Field: Home of the Colorado Rockies, situated roughly 1.3 miles southwest, making this an attractive remote parking choice for game days when downtown ramps are congested.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress and egress are straightforward from both Downing Street and the adjacent alleyway access off Larimer Street. The surrounding street grid allows drivers to easily navigate in and out of the Five Points and RiNo sectors without encountering the severe pedestrian gridlock common closer to Lower Downtown (LoDo). Regional drivers enjoy direct arterial connections via Downing Street south toward Central Denver and 38th Street northwest toward Interstate 70 (I-70) and Interstate 25 (I-25). Furthermore, the RTD 38th & Blake Commuter Rail Station (A-Line) is situated only four blocks away (approx. 6–8 minutes on foot), providing a direct, non-stop rail link between Downtown Union Station and Denver International Airport (DEN).

Visitor & Driver Tips

Weekend evenings and First Friday art walks bring substantial vehicular traffic into the RiNo corridor; arriving before 6:30 PM is strongly encouraged to claim a prime stall without circling. Always verify your license plate number carefully when initiating your digital parking session at the pay station or mobile app. If you plan to stay late enjoying neighborhood dining or social venues, remember that you can easily add extra parking hours through your mobile device without walking back to the vehicle.
