About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated at the corner of 14th Street and Market Street in Downtown Denver, the Nationwide Parking Services facility at 1401 Market St provides premier open-air surface parking at the crossroads of the historic LoDo (Lower Downtown) district and the Central Business District. The open-air layout is a standout advantage in an urban core dominated by restrictive underground decks and multi-tier garages. With open vertical headroom and no overhead clearance restrictions, this lot effortlessly accommodates standard passenger cars, large lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs with rooftop cargo carriers, sprinter vans, and commercial service vehicles that cannot enter standard low-clearance downtown garages.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because of its prime proximity to Larimer Square and major entertainment venues, this lot can experience high demand during Friday and Saturday evenings, as well as during major convention days. Dynamic event pricing may apply during arena concerts, playoffs, or theater opening nights. Ensure your license plate number is entered accurately at the digital pay station or mobile app upon parking, and retain your digital receipt. If attending a sold-out performance at DPAC or Ball Arena, aim to arrive 45 to 60 minutes before curtain or game time to secure a prime stall.
