Facility Overview
5280 Parking Services at 1410 Grant St offers convenient, open-air surface parking in the heart of Denver\'s vibrant Capitol Hill and Civic Center district. Situated just one block east of the iconic Colorado State Capitol, this accessible lot provides a hassle-free parking solution for daily commuters, state government visitors, tourists, and concertgoers alike. Because this is an open-air paved surface facility, it features no overhead vertical clearance restrictions, making it exceptionally well-suited not only for standard sedans, compacts, and crossovers, but also for full-size pickup trucks, large passenger SUVs, and high-profile vans that cannot fit into standard downtown underground garages.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Grant Street is a one-way northbound street, so approach the facility from East 13th or East 14th Avenue to ensure an easy right-hand turn into the lot. When major concerts occur at the Fillmore or Ogden, or during major legislative rallies at the Capitol, spaces can fill up rapidly; arriving an hour before showtime or reserving via mobile apps when available is recommended. Always take note of your stall number and license plate upon parking, and confirm your digital receipt before departing the lot.
