Facility Overview
Situated in the heart of Denver\'s historic Capitol Hill neighborhood, the Metropolis parking facility at 1277 Logan Street provides a convenient, open-air surface lot option for commuters, residents, and visitors alike. Featuring wide drive aisles and clearly marked surface stalls, the lot comfortably accommodates standard passenger cars, compact vehicles, mid-size crossovers, and full-size SUVs or pickup trucks.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Parking in Capitol Hill can be competitive, particularly during Friday and Saturday evenings when Colfax entertainment venues and neighborhood restaurants are in full swing. To ensure a seamless trip, set up your vehicle and payment information on the Metropolis platform prior to arrival, or scan the posted signage on-site immediately upon parking. Pay close attention to surrounding one-way street signage—Logan Street runs one-way southbound, so plan your approach via East 13th Avenue or Colfax Avenue for the smoothest turn-in.
