About this Location

Facility Overview

The parking garage at 1480 Wewatta Street, operated by Metropolis, offers an ultra-convenient, modern, covered parking experience in the vibrant heart of Denver\'s Union Station and Lower Downtown (LoDo) district. This multi-level subterranean facility provides sheltered, climate-tempered parking that protects your vehicle against Colorado\'s intense summer sun, winter snowstorms, and unpredictable hail. Equipped with frictionless computer-vision entry and automated license plate recognition technology, registered Metropolis users can drive in and out seamlessly without pulling physical tickets or waiting in pay machine queues. The garage features well-marked stalls, wide drive aisles, and smooth interior ramps suitable for compact vehicles, standard passenger sedans, crossovers, and standard-sized SUVs. Full-size pickup trucks and large SUVs should verify posted clearance limits (typically 7\'0\" clearance), while oversized commercial cargo vans and vehicles fitted with tall roof racks should seek nearby open-air surface lots.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To experience the easiest arrival and departure, set up your vehicle\'s license plate and billing profile on the Metropolis platform prior to arrival. During high-demand arena events at Ball Arena or peak weekend evenings in LoDo, traffic along 14th and 15th Streets can experience delays, so arriving 30 to 45 minutes prior to scheduled start times is highly recommended. Always verify the posted garage entrance clearance height before descending into the garage if your vehicle is equipped with rooftop carriers or sports equipment racks.
