Facility Overview
The LAZ Parking facility at 1735 Stout Street is a centrally positioned outdoor surface parking facility situated in the vibrant core of Downtown Denver\'s Central Business District (CBD). Nestled between 17th Street (known locally as the \'Wall Street of the Rockies\') and 18th Street, this open-air lot provides seamless and convenient parking for drivers seeking immediate access to Denver’s commercial towers, government agencies, and entertainment corridors. Because it is a surface-level parking lot without an overhead clearance bar or ceiling deck, it offers unobstructed vertical clearance, making it an exceptional parking option for oversized vehicles, lifted trucks, roof-rack-equipped SUVs, and commercial cargo vans that exceed standard indoor parking garage height restrictions.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Because Stout Street is a one-way street running northeast, plan your navigation by approaching via 17th Street or California Street to ensure a seamless right-hand turn into the lot entrance. During major events at the Colorado Convention Center, Rockies home games, or peak theater evenings, downtown parking demands surge; pre-booking via parking reservation apps is highly recommended to secure your space and lock in standard daily rates. Remember to keep your parking receipt or note your license plate number, as payment validation is managed electronically by plate recognition.
