About this Location

Facility Overview

Denison Parking at 2743 Blake Street offers convenient, open-air surface parking in the heart of Denver\'s bustling River North Art District (RiNo) and Ballpark neighborhood. Situated on Blake Street between 27th and 28th Streets, this paved lot provides straightforward drive-in access with clearly designated parking stalls. Because it operates as an outdoor surface facility, it is completely free from low vertical clearance limits that frequently restrict covered parking garages. As a result, the lot easily accommodates standard passenger sedans, full-size pickup trucks, lifted 4x4 vehicles, rooftop-cargo-equipped SUVs, and commercial service vans.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

The lot places motorists right in the cultural and entertainment core of RiNo, making it an exceptional parking hub for dining, nightlife, and sporting events. Notable nearby destinations include:

Coors Field: Home of the Colorado Rockies, located roughly seven blocks southwest (about an easy 12 to 15-minute walk down Blake Street).
Denver Central Market: A premier gourmet food hall just one block away on Larimer Street (3-minute walk).
RiNo Craft Breweries & Cideries: Walking distance to local icons including Ratio Beerworks, Our Mutual Friend Brewing, Bierstadt Lagerhaus, and Stem Ciders (all within 2 to 6 minutes).
Dining & Nightlife: Direct pedestrian access to popular hotspots such as Work & Class, Super Mega Bien, Improper City, and Barcelona Wine Bar.
Art Galleries & Studios: Located within steps of local mural walks, street art installations, and creative agency studios along Walnut and Larimer Streets.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Vehicles enter and exit directly from Blake Street, a one-way street traveling northeast from downtown Denver, providing smooth ingress off Park Avenue West. When leaving, drivers can quickly connect to major thoroughfares including Broadway, Brighton Boulevard, and Interstate 25 via Park Avenue West, or head north toward Interstate 70. For public transit users, the RTD 38th & Blake Commuter Rail Station (serving the University of Colorado A-Line to Denver International Airport and Union Station) is roughly a 15-minute walk or a quick scooter ride away. Several RTD local bus lines and designated micromobility stations (e-bikes and e-scooters) are also clustered in the immediate vicinity.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Blake Street carries steady one-way traffic, so position your vehicle in the right lane as you pass 27th Street to make a smooth turn into the lot. On Colorado Rockies home game days or during major summer RiNo art festivals, parking demand surges significantly; arriving an hour early or paying immediately upon parking is strongly recommended. Keep your license plate number on hand when stepping out of your vehicle, as most mobile and kiosk payment systems at this lot operate on a pay-by-plate system.
