About this Location

Facility Overview

Lot #12, situated at 1682 Logan Street (also recognized via its dual entrance at 410 East 17th Avenue), is a premier open-air surface parking facility in Denver's energetic Uptown / North Capitol Hill district. The facility features an organized, level asphalt layout engineered for fast and frictionless self-parking. Because Lot #12 is an outdoor surface lot free of height-restricting overhead beams, low pipes, or tight concrete clearance bars, it provides virtually unrestricted vertical clearance. This open headroom makes the facility remarkably accommodating for all vehicle types, ranging from compact cars, standard sedans, and crossover hybrids to full-size pickup trucks (such as Ford F-150 or Ram 1500), oversized SUVs, vehicles equipped with roof racks or rooftop ski gear, and commercial high-roof service vans.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Strategically positioned at the vibrant meeting point of Uptown and Capitol Hill, Lot #12 puts motorists within easy walking distance of leading cultural, governmental, dining, and nightlife destinations:

Uptown Restaurant Row (17th Avenue): Directly outside the lot, 17th Avenue is home to celebrated neighborhood staples such as Steuben's, Ace Eat Serve, Coperta, and a wide array of cocktail lounges and cafes.
Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception: Located just 2 blocks south (~0.2 miles, 4-minute walk), this iconic historical basilica is easily reachable on foot.
Colorado State Capitol & Civic Center Park: A quick 8 to 10-minute walk south (~0.4 miles) brings visitors to the Colorado State Capitol, Legislative Services building, and the civic festivals hosted at Civic Center Park.
Colfax Avenue Concert Venues: The Fillmore Auditorium and the historic Ogden Theatre are roughly 0.4 to 0.5 miles away (under a 10-minute stroll), making Lot #12 a favored choice for avoiding congested post-show venue parking.
Downtown Denver & Central Business District: Situated just east of Lincoln and Broadway, key corporate hubs including the Wells Fargo Center ("Cash Register Building"), Republic Plaza, and the 16th Street Mall corridor are within a 10 to 12-minute walk.
Paramount Theatre & Downtown Theaters: Located approximately 0.6 miles west, offering convenient parking for live comedy, performing arts, and touring musical acts.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Lot #12 benefits from dual street access, with vehicle ingress and egress points available along both Logan Street (a primary southbound one-way thoroughfare) and East 17th Avenue (a major westbound corridor feeding directly into the central downtown grid). This dual-entry design dramatically simplifies arrival and departure, allowing drivers to exit smoothly even when post-event traffic peaks along adjacent blocks. Highway connectivity is exceptionally convenient: motorists can easily connect to I-25 via Speer Boulevard or Colfax Avenue (US-40/US-287), as well as 6th Avenue (US-6) to the south. For regional commuters and multimodal travelers, the lot is located within walking distance of the Civic Center Station bus transit hub, RTD local and regional bus lines along Colfax and Broadway, and the RTD Light Rail D, H, and L lines along Welton and California Streets.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When using Lot #12, drivers can enter via either Logan Street or 17th Avenue; if one entry experiences momentary queuing, proceed around the corner to the secondary entrance. Lot enforcement relies heavily on automated license plate verification. Ensure your vehicle's license plate information is keyed accurately into your mobile parking app or parking station before walking away to avoid violation notices. On nights featuring sold-out shows along Colfax or major festivals in Civic Center Park, nearby street spaces fill rapidly; reserving your spot in advance via SpotHero guarantees entry and protects against event-rate adjustments. As with any downtown open-air lot, practice sound urban habits: remember to close all windows, lock vehicle doors, and keep all personal electronics and valuables concealed from plain view.
