Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a seamless parking experience, keep your license plate number handy when arriving, as AirGarage\'s payment platform verifies vehicles by plate. Scan the signage posted throughout the lot to start your parking session promptly upon arrival to prevent any enforcement citations. While parking demand in Cherry Creek North peaks on Friday and Saturday evenings and during holiday shopping periods, turnover in this surface lot is frequent. If you plan to dine or shop for several hours, you can conveniently extend your parking session remotely from your phone without returning to your vehicle.
