About this Location

Facility Overview

The LAZ Parking facility at 1940 Broadway is a centrally situated open-air surface parking lot operating in the heart of Downtown Denver, right at the intersection of the Central Business District, Uptown, and the vibrant Five Points/Ballpark corridors. Because it is an open-air surface facility, drivers do not have to worry about the low vertical clearance restrictions often found in downtown multi-story parking garages. This makes the facility an outstanding option for standard passenger sedans, large pickup trucks, full-sized SUVs, vehicles with roof racks or cargo carriers, and high-profile work vans. The lot features wide perimeter visibility, straightforward aisle layouts, and marked parking stalls that allow for hassle-free maneuvering and parking.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Located on Broadway between 19th and 20th Streets, this lot puts visitors within easy walking distance of Denver’s most popular entertainment venues, dining districts, and commercial towers:

Coors Field: Approximately a 12- to 15-minute walk (0.7 miles) down 20th Street, offering an easy escape route avoiding the immediate stadium gridlock on game days.

Public transportation connectivity is exceptional: the RTD Light Rail stations at 20th & Welton (serving the L Line) and 18th & California / 18th & Stout (serving the D, H, and L Lines) are within a two-block radius, making it an ideal park-and-ride spot for navigating the wider Denver metro area.

Visitor & Driver Tips

On Rockies game days and during major downtown concerts, this lot can experience increased demand, so arriving 45 to 60 minutes before your scheduled event is recommended. Take a quick photo of your license plate before walking to pay stations, as Denver parking lots commonly operate on a Pay-by-Plate system. Be sure to check posted on-site signage for event surge rates and parking duration maximums to avoid ticketing or towing.
