About this Location

Facility Overview

Alpha Park at 1401 17th Street offers premier covered parking positioned in the heart of Downtown Denver, right at the vibrant intersection of LoDo (Lower Downtown) and the Central Business District (CBD). Nestled within a prominent multi-story commercial complex, this parking garage provides sheltered, secure, and climate-protected spaces for commuters, business travelers, and downtown visitors alike. Designed primarily for standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, and mid-to-full-size SUVs, the garage features clearly marked lanes, smooth vehicular circulation, and dedicated accessible stalls. Because this is a covered structure, vertical clearance restrictions apply (typically around 6\'8\"), meaning oversized commercial cargo vans, high-roof work vehicles, and lifted trucks with roof accessories should verify clearance or utilize nearby open-air surface lots.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During Colorado Rockies home games, opening days, and downtown summer festivals, parking demand surges quickly; arriving 45 to 60 minutes early or reserving a spot in advance through mobile parking apps is highly recommended. Always verify the posted maximum clearance height at the overhead entrance bar before entering if driving a tall SUV or truck equipped with cargo carriers. Be sure to note your garage floor level, space number, or column letter prior to departing, and keep your parking ticket or digital mobile confirmation handy for seamless gate exit.
