About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated at 972 N. Broadway at the vibrant intersection of Denver’s Golden Triangle Creative District and historic Capitol Hill, this Metropolis-operated facility provides convenient and accessible surface parking in central Denver. The open-air lot features an unobstructed layout with paved stalls, clear stall striping, and easy turnarounds. Because it is an outdoor surface facility, it has no vertical ceiling restrictions, making it an ideal choice for full-size pickup trucks, large SUVs, work vans, and vehicles equipped with rooftop cargo carriers or bike racks that cannot enter standard low-clearance underground garages.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

This Broadway parking location places drivers within minutes of Denver’s most prominent civic, cultural, and entertainment destinations:

Drivers approaching from I-25 can easily transition via 6th Avenue (US-6 E) or 8th Avenue eastward to Broadway. Outbound travel is equally seamless, with neighboring Lincoln Street providing straightforward southbound access toward Speer Boulevard and Cherry Creek. For public transit users, major RTD bus routes (including Route 0 along Broadway and Lincoln) operate regular stops steps away from the lot, providing rapid connections between Englewood, Civic Center Station, and downtown Denver.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Broadway is a busy northbound thoroughfare, so position your vehicle in the rightmost travel lanes as you approach 10th Avenue to ensure a smooth turn into the lot entrance. Register your vehicle’s license plate with Metropolis before or immediately upon arrival to take advantage of automated payments and avoid parking violation notices. When attending popular summer festivals at Civic Center Park or major museum exhibition openings, plan to arrive early to secure a prime stall, as spaces fill quickly during peak weekend hours.
