About this Location

Facility Overview

City Center Englewood Parking is a central parking destination serving CityCenter Englewood, a premier transit-oriented development situated at 1001 W Hampden Avenue in Englewood, Colorado. Built on the historic grounds of the former Cinderella City Mall, this expansive mixed-use hub integrates municipal offices, residential living, retail storefronts, and commuter rail facilities. The facility features generous surface parking lots along with structured bays designed to handle steady daily traffic. Thanks to open-sky surface configurations across much of the property, drivers operating high-profile vehicles—such as lifted pickup trucks, full-size commercial work vans, dual-axle vehicles, and SUVs fitted with roof racks or cargo carriers—enjoy stress-free maneuvering without standard vertical clearance concerns.
