About this Location

Facility Overview

501 E 14th Ave Parking is a centrally situated open-air surface parking lot positioned in the vibrant Capitol Hill neighborhood of Denver, Colorado. Located near the intersection of East 14th Avenue and Pennsylvania Street, this facility offers dependable, grade-level parking directly adjacent to residential buildings, local dining spots, and cultural venues.

Visitor & Driver Tips

East 14th Avenue is a one-way westbound street, so plan your approach from the east (e.g., via Pearl or Washington Street) to smoothly enter the parking lot on your right. When major concerts are scheduled at nearby Colfax venues, street parking fills up quickly, making this surface lot a strategic and time-saving alternative; aim to arrive 45 to 60 minutes before doors open to guarantee your space. Always remember to display your receipt or confirm that your vehicle\'s license plate is accurately registered through the mobile payment app to prevent ticketing or towing.
