Facility Overview
Situated at the vibrant intersection of 24th Street and Blake Street in Denver\'s historic Ballpark neighborhood, Nationwide Parking Services operates an expansive open-air surface parking facility at 2399 Blake St. Positioned right on the cusp of Lower Downtown (LoDo) and the River North Art District (RiNo), this lot offers unobstructed, flat ground-level parking for drivers heading into the heart of Denver\'s sports and entertainment district. Because this facility is an outdoor surface lot with no overhead structure, it provides unlimited vertical clearance, making it fully accommodating for standard passenger sedans, lifted full-size pickup trucks, oversized SUVs, commercial vans, and roof-rack-equipped road-trip vehicles that cannot safely navigate low-clearance downtown parking garages.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
The location of 2399 Blake St is prime real estate for sports enthusiasts, concert attendees, and culinary explorers. Most notably, Coors Field—the home ballpark of the MLB Colorado Rockies—is practically on your doorstep, located less than a two-block stroll (approximately 3 minutes on foot) down Blake Street. Surrounding the lot is one of Denver\'s liveliest entertainment strips, packed with popular pre-game and post-game destinations including ViewHouse Ballpark, Tavern Downtown, Jackson\'s LODO, Whiskey Row, and the bustling taprooms and artisan eateries of RiNo such as 10 Barrel Brewing, Los Chingones, and Ratio Beerworks. Denver Union Station, McGregor Square, and the 16th Street Mall district are also within a comfortable 10 to 15-minute walk or quick scooter ride.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Drivers can access the lot directly from Blake Street or 24th Street, allowing for convenient entry regardless of traffic flow. Blake Street runs one-way northeast through this segment of the Ballpark neighborhood, facilitating smooth incoming traffic from downtown. Exiting toward regional highways is remarkably fast compared to deeper LoDo lots: motorists can quickly hop onto Park Avenue West to connect to Interstate 25 (I-25) in under five minutes, or head northeast along Broadway/Brighton Boulevard to intersect with Interstate 70 (I-70). For those combining driving with public transit, RTD Light Rail and commuter rail lines are easily accessible via Denver Union Station (0.8 miles away) and the 38th & Blake commuter rail station (A-Line to Denver International Airport), complemented by numerous local RTD bus lines along Broadway and Park Avenue.

Visitor & Driver Tips
During Rockies home games, opening day, summer concerts, and weekend evening rush hours, parking rates transition to special-event flat rates and spaces fill up rapidly. Drivers are strongly advised to arrive at least 45 to 60 minutes before the first pitch or showtime to secure a spot and avoid bottleneck congestion along Blake and 20th Streets. Always check posted rate signs upon entry and register your license plate immediately via the on-site mobile payment app or physical kiosk to avoid ticketing or towing enforcement.
