About this Location

Facility Overview

The Arapahoe RTD Park-N-Ride (serving the Arapahoe at Village Center Station) is a premier transit and commuter parking hub situated at 8800 E Caley Avenue in Greenwood Village, Colorado. Located in the bustling southern corridor of the Denver Tech Center (DTC), this facility features a modern, multi-level covered parking garage alongside integrated ground-level bus bays and station access walkways. The garage provides weather-protected parking across several structured tiers, shielding commuters\' vehicles from Colorado snow, hail, and summer heat. Standard passenger sedans, crossovers, and full-size SUVs can comfortably maneuver the spacious driving ramps and stalls. The structure features a standard garage clearance of approximately 7 feet 0 inches to 8 feet 2 inches on lower levels, while higher-profile commercial vans, campers, and oversized equipment should utilize exterior ground-level bays or alternative commercial parking.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Positioned directly within Greenwood Village\'s corporate and entertainment corridor, the facility offers unmatched accessibility to prime commercial and entertainment destinations:

The multi-modal facility integrates seamlessly with the RTD Light Rail network, directly serving the E Line (connecting south to RidgeGate and north to Downtown Denver Union Station) and the R Line (connecting through Aurora to Peoria Station).

Visitor & Driver Tips

Vehicles registered to an address within the RTD taxing district are eligible to park free of charge for the first 24 consecutive hours. If you plan to leave your car for longer than 24 hours, or if your vehicle is registered outside the RTD district, daily parking fees apply and must be registered promptly through the on-site kiosks or via the ParkMobile app to avoid ticketing or fines. For high-profile summer concerts at Fiddler\'s Green Amphitheatre, spaces fill up rapidly in the late afternoon; arriving early guarantees covered parking and allows for an easy post-show departure back onto I-25.
