About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Denver’s vibrant Golden Triangle Creative District, the LAZ Parking facility at 1252 Delaware St offers an exceptionally convenient, open-air surface parking solution. Designed with a straightforward, drive-in perimeter, this paved surface lot provides easy maneuvering for a broad spectrum of personal and commercial vehicles. Because it is an open-air facility without low-hanging ceiling beams or overhead ductwork, there are no restrictive vertical height clearance limits. This makes it an outstanding choice not only for standard compact cars and sedans, but also for full-size pickup trucks, oversized SUVs, high-profile commercial vans, and vehicles equipped with roof racks or cargo carriers that typically cannot enter multi-level downtown parking garages.
