About this Location

Facility Overview

The RTD I-25 & Broadway Station Park-n-Ride is a premier multi-modal transit and parking facility situated at 901 S Broadway in Denver, Colorado. Located at the vibrant nexus between Denver's historic Baker neighborhood, Overland, and the South Broadway (SoBo) corridor, this expansive facility features nearly 1,000 paved parking spaces arranged across well-organized, open-air surface lots. Because it is a ground-level, open-sky lot, the location boasts wide-open headroom with zero vertical clearance restrictions, making it exceptionally accommodating not only for compact sedans and crossover SUVs, but also for full-size pickup trucks, commercial work trucks, conversion vans, and high-roof transit vehicles that cannot fit into standard multi-level parking garages.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Strategically positioned just south of Central Denver along the busy I-25 corridor, this parking location serves as an effortless jumping-off point for both neighborhood exploration and downtown excursions. Visitors can walk directly to the thriving South Broadway and Baker cultural strips, renowned for indie boutiques, eclectic antique shops, vintage clothing stores, craft breweries, and live music venues like the Gothic Theatre and Hi-Dive just minutes down the avenue. The historic Overland Golf Course and the scenic trails along the South Platte River are within a mile to the west, while picturesque Washington Park (Wash Park) is situated less than 1.5 miles to the east.

Moreover, because the lot connects directly to RTD light rail lines, it functions as a favored parking gateway for major sports and entertainment events. Drivers can park here and take a brief 10-to-15-minute train ride directly to Ball Arena (home of the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche), Empower Field at Mile High (home of the Denver Broncos), the Colorado Convention Center, and the Denver Performing Arts Complex without navigating city center congestion or steep event garage rates.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

The facility offers unmatched vehicular and transit accessibility. Situated immediately adjacent to Interstate 25 at the South Broadway interchange (Exit 207), drivers enjoy virtually direct off-ramp entry and rapid on-ramp access back onto the freeway after evening events or morning rush hour. Primary street ingress and egress points connect directly onto South Broadway and neighboring feeder streets, with clearly painted directionals and wide perimeter lanes that keep traffic flowing smoothly during morning and evening rush hours.

As a key transit hub for the Regional Transportation District (RTD), the rail station platform sits right beside the parking facility, serving multiple light rail routes including the D, E, and H Lines. Multiple local bus routes (such as RTD Routes 0, 0L, 11, and 14) also stop directly at the station terminal, providing fast east-west and north-south transfers across the Denver metropolitan area.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Understand RTD Parking Rules: Parking is free for the first 24 hours for vehicles registered within the RTD taxing district; nominal daily fees apply thereafter and for out-of-district vehicles. Check and register your license plate via ParkMobile or the pay station before boarding transit.
Note Your Stall Location: With close to 1,000 spaces spread across multiple sectors, take a quick photo of your parking row and aisle marker before hopping on the train.
Arrive Early for Major Events: During home Broncos games and large downtown festivals, spaces fill up faster than normal; aim to arrive at least 60 to 90 minutes before scheduled start times.
Use I-25 Exits Carefully: During peak commuter periods, keep an eye on Broadway turning lanes and merge early into designated entry lanes to ensure smooth ingress into the facility.
