Facility Overview
Situated at the bustling corner of 27th Street and Blake Street, 2701 Blake St Parking offers prime, accessible parking in the vibrant River North Art District (RiNo) and Ballpark neighborhood of Denver, Colorado. The facility operates as an open-air, paved surface parking lot designed for efficient self-parking. Because it is an open lot without an overhead ceiling or parking deck, it provides unlimited vertical clearance, making it an ideal choice for oversized vehicles, lifted 4x4 pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, and commercial passenger vans that exceed standard indoor parking garage height limits.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
The lot places visitors within steps of Denver\'s most sought-after culinary, brewery, and nightlife destinations:

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Accessing the lot is straightforward, with vehicle entry curb cuts located along 27th Street and Blake Street. Blake Street is a primary arterial road running through the heart of the Ballpark neighborhood and RiNo, connecting seamlessly to Broadway and Park Avenue West for quick connections to Interstate 25 (I-25) and Interstate 70 (I-70). For public transportation users, the RTD 38th & Blake Commuter Rail Station (A-Line train to Denver Union Station and Denver International Airport) is roughly 0.8 miles northeast, while RTD bus lines service nearby Larimer and Broadway corridors.
