Facility Overview
Park Central Parking is a premier downtown Denver parking garage situated beneath the prominent Park Central commercial complex at 1515 Arapahoe Street. Located in the bustling Central Business District, directly adjacent to Skyline Park and the famous 16th Street Mall, this covered, multi-level subterranean garage provides clean, climate-protected, and secure parking right in the core of the Mile High City. The garage features well-marked stalls, wide two-way driving aisles, and bright energy-efficient illumination throughout. It comfortably accommodates standard passenger cars, compact vehicles, sedans, crossovers, and standard mid-size SUVs. Drivers of lifted trucks, full-size extended passenger vans, or roof-box-equipped SUVs should take note of the garage vertical clearance limit of 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 m), which restricts high-profile commercial and oversized vehicles.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To secure the best available daily rates and guarantee your space during peak business hours or major DPAC evening theater performances, consider reserving your stall in advance through ParkChirp or affiliated online parking services.

If visiting during weekday morning rush hours (8:00 AM – 9:30 AM), plan for an extra few minutes of navigation along Arapahoe Street.
