Facility Overview
Situated in the heart of Denver’s vibrant Baker and South Broadway (SoBo) commercial corridor, 70 Broadway Parking (located at 77 Lincoln Street) provides an accessible and convenient open-air surface parking facility. Positioned directly between Lincoln Street and South Broadway just north of East 1st Avenue, this self-park facility features clearly designated spaces and generous drive aisles designed for swift maneuvering. Because it operates as an outdoor surface lot without structural height restrictions, it offers virtually unlimited overhead clearance, making it an outstanding choice not only for standard sedans and compact cars but also for oversized pickup trucks, tall SUVs, and work vans carrying exterior racks or cargo carriers that typically exceed traditional indoor garage clearance limits.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Lincoln Street is a high-flow, one-way northbound artery; ensure you position your vehicle in the left-hand lanes as you approach 1st Avenue to make a smooth turn into the lot entrance. During prime dining and nightlife hours on Friday and Saturday evenings, available spots fill quickly; arriving earlier in the evening or utilizing mobile payment apps to confirm parking can save valuable time. Always ensure your license plate is registered accurately via the pay station or mobile app immediately after parking to prevent ticketing or enforcement actions.
