About this Location

Facility Overview

CU Boulder Lot 319 is an outdoor surface parking lot situated on the southeastern edge of the University of Colorado Boulder main campus, tucked conveniently along the Kittredge Loop off Regent Drive. Designed primarily to serve university students, faculty, staff, and campus visitors, Lot 319 offers straightforward paved ground-level parking with clearly demarcated standard and accessible bays. Because the facility is completely open-air without overhead decking, it features virtually unlimited vertical clearance, making it an excellent parking choice for high-profile vehicles, including full-sized pickup trucks, tall SUVs, and passenger vans that might otherwise struggle with low garage ceilings.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Parking regulations on the CU Boulder campus are strictly enforced by University Parking and Transportation Services (PTS). Review posted signage at the lot entrance for current permit and visitor restrictions, as certain bays may be designated specifically for student resident permits or departmental staff during standard business hours. When paying via the ParkMobile mobile app, note the zone number posted on the on-site signage. During major campus events, such as CU Buffaloes home football games or commencement ceremonies, campus-wide event rates or permit closures may apply, so arriving early or checking PTS event parking notices in advance is strongly recommended.
