About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in one of Denver’s most dynamic cultural corridors, Common Park West Parking at 1620 Platte Street offers a secure, modern parking garage serving the vibrant Platte Street district, Riverfront Park, and Lower Downtown (LoDo). Integrated into the Commons Park West community, this multi-level covered facility provides sheltered parking that shields vehicles from Colorado’s seasonal snowstorms and summer heat. The garage is engineered with wide driving aisles, clearly marked stalls, and smooth ingress/egress ramps suitable for standard passenger vehicles, family crossovers, compact cars, and standard full-size SUVs. Drivers of lifted pickups, commercial cargo vans, or vehicles equipped with high roof racks should be mindful of posted vertical clearances (typically 6\'8\" to 7\'0\") upon entry.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Pre-booking your parking pass online through ParkChirp or mobile parking apps is strongly recommended, especially on evenings when Ball Arena hosts sellout sports games or concerts. When navigating via GPS, look for the garage entry signage on Platte Street between 15th Street and 18th Street. Retain your digital barcode or reservation pass on your smartphone for rapid gate scanning. If you plan to walk to downtown or Union Station, use the designated pedestrian bridges to enjoy a vehicle-free, scenic crossing over the South Platte River and mainline tracks.
