Facility Overview
5701 E 39th Ave Parking is an open-air surface parking facility located along East 39th Avenue in Denver’s dynamic Northeast Park Hill neighborhood. Situated within an active light-industrial, commercial, and artisan corridor just south of Interstate 70, this outdoor lot offers a simple, functional layout designed for straightforward drive-in and drive-out access. The flat ground-level configuration provides clear sightlines and ample maneuvering space, eliminating the tight turns, narrow ramps, and blind corners common in downtown parking garages.
Because the facility is completely open-air without ceiling barriers, overhead piping, or low beams, there are no vertical clearance restrictions. This makes the lot exceptionally versatile and accommodating for a broad spectrum of vehicle sizes. Standard passenger cars, crossovers, and sedans can park with ease alongside full-size pickup trucks (such as Ford F-150s, Chevrolet Silverados, and Ram 1500s), large sport utility vehicles, cargo vans, high-roof conversion vans, and commercial contractor fleet vehicles that cannot fit inside conventional covered parking decks.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
The facility’s strategic location in Northeast Park Hill positions drivers near several key commerce centers, residential hubs, recreation spaces, and entertainment venues across the greater Denver metropolitan area:
- City Park & Cultural Hub: Located approximately 2.5 miles south, City Park is home to the world-renowned Denver Zoo, the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, City Park Golf Course, and scenic lake paths.
- The 39th Avenue Greenway: Running just blocks away to the west, this urban trail and stormwater open-space corridor offers walking, jogging, and bicycling connections across the Park Hill, Cole, and RiNo neighborhoods.
- National Western Complex & Denver Coliseum: Situated roughly 3.5 miles northwest along the I-70 corridor, hosting major annual events, stock shows, rodeos, trade expos, and concerts.
- Dick’s Sporting Goods Park: Located about 3.5 miles to the north in Commerce City, the premier soccer stadium and concert venue is quickly reachable via Holly Street and Monaco Parkway.
- Central Park (formerly Stapleton) & Stanley Marketplace: Within a 5-to-10-minute drive east, offering a vast array of craft dining, boutique shopping, brewery patios, and community events.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress and egress are straightforward directly from East 39th Avenue, an east-west arterial that connects Holly Street to the west and Hudson Street / Monaco Parkway to the east. Traffic flow in this part of Northeast Park Hill is generally consistent and free-flowing compared to Denver's congested central core, allowing drivers to exit quickly without bottlenecking during morning and afternoon commute peaks.
For regional highway transit, the lot sits less than a mile south of the Interstate 70 (I-70) corridor, accessed via Colorado Boulevard or Monaco Street Parkway exits. This grants seamless freeway routing westbound toward Downtown Denver, I-25, and the Rocky Mountains, or eastbound toward Denver International Airport (DEN) and I-225. Public transit riders can easily connect with the Regional Transportation District (RTD) network; the 40th & Colorado Commuter Rail Station (RTD A-Line) is located approximately 1.2 miles away, providing direct train travel between Union Station in Downtown Denver and DIA. Multiple RTD bus lines, including service along 39th Avenue and Holly Street, run within walking distance of the property.

Visitor & Driver Tips
When heading to 5701 E 39th Ave, set your GPS navigation specifically for East 39th Avenue between Holly and Hudson streets. Pay close attention to posted regulatory signage upon arrival to ensure you park within designated boundary lines and complete any required electronic registration or pay-by-plate check-ins. If you drive an extended vehicle, work van, or dual-axle truck, select perimeter spaces that allow comfortable clearance for surrounding vehicles to pass freely. As with any open metropolitan lot, practice everyday vehicle safety by locking all doors, rolling up windows fully, and keeping tools, luggage, and personal electronics stored completely out of plain sight.
