Facility Overview
The Black Hawk Parking Garage at 270 Gregory Street provides premier, modern multi-level covered parking in the heart of Black Hawk, Colorado.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Mountain weather in Gilpin County can change rapidly, making covered garage parking especially advantageous during heavy winter snowstorms. During peak weekend evenings and holiday festivities, spaces fill quickly; arriving prior to 4:00 PM on Friday or Saturday ensures the best choice of lower-level parking. Always note your deck level and section prior to heading out, and take advantage of the free city tramway to avoid relocating your vehicle when hopping between Black Hawk and Central City attractions.
