About this Location

Facility Overview

Lot 414 is a dedicated open-air surface parking facility situated on the southern perimeter of the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) Main Campus in Boulder, Colorado. Managed by CU Boulder Parking and Transportation Services, the lot offers a structured, asphalt-paved parking footprint tailored to university staff, permit holders, students, and campus visitors. Because it is a completely open sky lot without overhead beams, ramps, or parking garage roofs, Lot 414 features open vertical clearance, making it fully accessible not only to compact sedans and standard passenger cars, but also to full-size SUVs, crew-cab pickup trucks, and taller passenger vans.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Lot 414 operates with specific enforcement hours set by CU Boulder Parking Services; always inspect on-site regulatory signage upon arrival as permit restrictions often apply between 7:30 AM and 5:00 PM on weekdays. Payment is managed electronically through the ParkMobile app using the posted campus zone number, so having the app downloaded and an account configured in advance will streamline your arrival. On major campus event days or CU Buffaloes home games, university parking lots may shift to special event rates or permit-only access, so check campus parking advisories prior to traveling.
