Facility Overview

The Medical Pavilion Parking facility is conveniently situated on Alpine Avenue in the vibrant North Boulder / Newlands district of Boulder, Colorado. Serving the medical pavilion, civic municipal offices, and the evolving Alpine-Balsam district (the historic former Boulder Community Health Broadway campus), this facility provides structured and surface parking options for patients, healthcare visitors, city staff, and neighborhood shoppers. The layout features easy driveway access from Alpine Avenue, well-maintained driving lanes, clearly stenciled parking bays, and direct accessible routes into adjoining clinical and commercial suites.

Standard passenger sedans, crossover utility vehicles, and family minivans will find parking effortless. Full-size pickup trucks and SUVs can readily maneuver the generous turning radiuses on the surface levels. For covered parking sections, drivers should always observe posted clearance signs (typically maintaining standard overhead limits around 7 feet). High-roof commercial vans and vehicles fitted with tall rooftop cargo boxes or ski racks are advised to utilize open-air surface bays to ensure trouble-free clearance.

Nestled in historic Old North Boulder, the facility serves as an ideal base for accessing local healthcare, municipal services, dining, and scenic recreation within minutes:

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

The parking area offers direct ingress and egress points off Alpine Avenue, with fast access to Broadway (State Highway 93), North Boulder’s primary north-south arterial corridor. Eastbound Alpine Avenue connects seamlessly to 13th Street and 19th Street for smooth departures into eastern residential neighborhoods. During morning and late-afternoon commute hours, Broadway experiences steady flow, but traffic within the Alpine corridor remains manageable with dedicated turning lanes.

Public transit connectivity is exceptional: RTD bus routes—including the high-frequency SKIP bus line operating along Broadway—stop just footsteps away at Alpine Avenue and Balsam Avenue, delivering rapid north-south transit straight into Downtown Boulder Station and the CU Boulder campus. Regional cyclists will appreciate designated on-street bike lanes and nearby Boulder B-cycle bikeshare stations.

• Ski & Bike Racks: If you are driving a vehicle equipped with top-mounted roof boxes, mountain bikes, or roof racks, park in open-air ground stalls rather than covered lower structures.
• Ride the SKIP: Avoid Downtown Boulder parking congestion by parking in North Boulder and taking the scenic SKIP bus down Broadway directly to Pearl Street.
• Peak Arrival Times: The lot sees its highest turnover during midweek mornings between 8:30 AM and 11:30 AM, and early afternoons around 1:30 PM; plan a few extra minutes to navigate open stalls during these windows.
