Facility Overview
The Macy\'s Parking Garage at the Twenty Ninth Street shopping district in Boulder, Colorado (80301) is a modern, multi-level structured parking facility serving one of the city\'s most vibrant outdoor retail, dining, and lifestyle centers. Positioned right in the central corridor between 28th Street and 29th Street, this covered deck provides quick and weather-protected parking for shoppers, moviegoers, diners, and local professionals. The garage features wide driving aisles, intuitive ramps, high-visibility stalls, and clear signage. Standard passenger cars, crossovers, and mid-to-large SUVs can comfortably navigate the facility.
