Facility Overview

The 1615 Boulder parking lot, operated by Parkwell and widely known as the LoHi Lot, provides premier open-air surface parking in the heart of Denver's bustling Lower Highland (LoHi) neighborhood. Positioned at the corner of Boulder Street and 16th Street, this surface facility offers an unobstructed, ground-level layout designed for seamless self-parking. Because it is an open-air lot with no overhead structures or ceiling restrictions, it offers virtually unlimited vertical clearance, making it exceptionally well-suited for high-profile vehicles, lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs with rooftop luggage or bike racks, and high-roof passenger or cargo vans that cannot enter downtown Denver's restrictive multi-story parking garages.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Nestled directly in Denver’s most energetic culinary and entertainment district, the lot is merely steps from iconic local venues. Drivers park here to access renowned restaurants, bars, and dessert destinations without circling tight neighborhood streets:

• Little Man Ice Cream & The Post Chicken & Beer: Situated directly across the street, just seconds from your vehicle.
• Linger & El Five: High-energy rooftop dining and tapas spots located within a 1- to 2-minute stroll (100–200 yards away).
• Williams & Graham: Denver’s legendary speakeasy cocktail lounge, located roughly a 4-minute walk away.
• Highland Pedestrian Bridge & Downtown Denver: Just 2 blocks southeast, connecting pedestrians across I-25 directly to Commons Park, Confluence Park, Union Station (a scenic 12- to 15-minute walk), and Coors Field / Ball Arena (approx. 20 minutes on foot or a 5-minute rideshare).
• Hirshorn Park: Located just one block west, offering green space and playground amenities.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress to the lot is conveniently accessed off 16th Street, clearly identified by Parkwell marquee signage. Egress back onto Boulder Street and 16th Street allows rapid departures onto Central Street, Speer Boulevard, or 15th Street. Drivers heading toward regional destinations enjoy quick access to Interstate 25 (Exits 211 and 212C), located less than a half-mile away, as well as Interstate 70 just minutes to the north. For multimodal travelers, RTD bus lines service 15th Street and Central Street, while light rail, commuter rail, and the Flatiron Flyer bus service can be accessed via a quick walk across the Highland Bridge to Denver Union Station.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Demand in the Lower Highland neighborhood peaks during weekday dinner hours (6:00 PM – 9:00 PM) and across weekend afternoons and evenings. Because the lot is self-park and unstaffed, spots are occupied on a first-come, first-served basis; booking via mobile apps such as ParkChirp or SpotHero ahead of time secures the best rate, but arriving early during prime Friday and Saturday rushes ensures quick spot selection. Keep your vehicle's license plate details handy, as parking enforcement relies on accurate plate entry rather than physical dashboard tickets. Finally, note that general daily parking passes do not grant in-and-out privileges once you leave the lot.
