Facility Overview

The parking garage at 201 W Colfax Ave is the official covered municipal parking structure serving the Wellington E. Webb Municipal Office Building and the broader Denver Civic Center complex. Positioned at the strategic convergence of West Colfax Avenue, Court Place, and 14th Street, this underground and multi-level parking facility offers secure, weather-protected parking right in the municipal heart of downtown Denver. The garage is designed with modern clearance heights (typically accommodating standard passenger vehicles, minivans, crossovers, and mid-to-full-size SUVs up to a standard clearance of 6 feet 8 inches to 7 feet). Oversized utility vehicles, commercial cargo vans, and lifted off-road trucks exceeding standard clearance limits should consider open surface lots in the surrounding Golden Triangle or Civic Center areas.

• Event Day Considerations: During major holiday lights displays at the City and County Building or Civic Center festivals, surrounding roads may close, so review downtown street closure notices prior to departure.
• Ticket Retention: Keep your entry ticket or digital receipt handy, as automated pay-on-foot machines operate inside the building lobbies prior to returning to your vehicle.
