About this Location

Facility Overview

Parking Level 3 South is a designated multi-story parking deck located at 604 E Hampden Avenue in Englewood, Colorado, serving the vital Swedish Medical Center and Craig Hospital healthcare campus. Structured as a covered, multi-level concrete parking garage, Level 3 South provides sheltered spaces shielded from Colorado’s seasonal snow, hail, and summer sun. The facility features standard designated parking bays, clearly painted lane markers, and directional signage designed to facilitate smooth vehicular movement. While standard passenger sedans, crossovers, and mid-sized SUVs navigate the clearance easily (typical structure vertical clearance is posted at 7 feet 0 inches / 2.13 meters), drivers of lifted 4x4 pickup trucks, commercial transit vans, or vehicles with elevated roof racks should verify overhead clearance signs at the ramp entry before ascending.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Navigating large hospital campuses can sometimes be stressful, so plan to arrive at least 15 to 20 minutes prior to scheduled medical appointments to allow time for parking, elevator transit, and clinic check-in. Always make note of your floor level and pillar letter/number when exiting your vehicle, as medical center garages can appear uniform. Be mindful of pedestrians, wheelchairs, and transport equipment when turning corners inside the structure. If you are a patient or immediate visitor, check with the main hospital reception desk or clinic registration counter regarding parking validation stamps or token procedures.
