Facility Overview
LAZ Parking at 2000 Welton Street is a well-positioned open-air surface parking facility situated at the intersection of 20th Street and Welton Street on the northeastern edge of Downtown Denver. Bordering the historic Five Points neighborhood, Uptown, and the Central Business District, this lot offers a convenient parking footprint with straightforward drive-in access and generous maneuverability. Because it is an outdoor surface lot without overhead decks, beams, or height barriers, it presents unrestricted vertical clearance, making it an exceptional parking choice not only for standard sedans, compacts, and mid-size crossovers, but also for full-size pickup trucks, large SUVs, work vans, and vehicles equipped with roof racks or cargo carriers.

Visitor & Driver Tips
During Colorado Rockies home games and major downtown events, parking spaces fill quickly; pre-purchasing a stall through recognized mobile reservation platforms is strongly recommended to guarantee your spot. Pay close attention to posted rate signs at the pay kiosks or on mobile checkout screens, as rates can vary based on peak event schedules. Always ensure your vehicle license plate number is entered accurately into the payment system to prevent ticketing or towing, and remember to stow any valuables out of sight before heading out to enjoy the city.
