About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Downtown Denver, the Metropolis parking facility at 1320 Glenarm Place provides prime, convenient vehicle staging right on the border of the Central Business District and the Civic Center cultural district. Configured as an accessible open-air surface lot, this facility offers an effortless alternative to the tight turning radii and low-clearance ceilings common to downtown subterranean and multi-deck garages. Because there are no overhead clearance restrictions, the lot comfortably accommodates standard sedans, full-size SUVs, lifted pickup trucks, commercial work vans, and vehicles equipped with rooftop cargo containers or ski racks.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During major exhibitions at the Colorado Convention Center or weekend evening performances at DPAC, spaces can fill up briskly. Drivers are encouraged to arrive 20 to 30 minutes before showtime or register their vehicle ahead of time on the Metropolis mobile platform to speed up entry. Event-based dynamic pricing may apply during citywide gatherings, so check active rates prior to entering. When departing during peak downtown rush hour or post-event dispersal, turning southwest toward Speer Boulevard often offers the quickest route around downtown surface congestion.
