About this Location

Facility Overview

The parking lot at 1400 Grove St is a practical, open-air surface facility situated in Denver\'s historic West Colfax neighborhood, just south of West Colfax Avenue and west of Federal Boulevard. Designed to accommodate local commuters, neighborhood visitors, and major stadium attendees alike, the lot offers a straightforward ground-level layout with clearly defined parking bays and generous turning aisles. Because it is a completely open surface lot without overhead barriers, height restrictions, or ceiling clearance beams, it easily accommodates a diverse range of motor vehicles. Drivers operating standard compacts, mid-sized sedans, full-sized pickup trucks (such as Ford F-150s and Ram 1500s), full-sized SUVs, and roof-racked adventure vehicles will find parking here stress-free and accessible.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Strategically positioned immediately west of central Denver, this facility provides a convenient, low-congestion launchpad to many of the city\'s marquee sporting venues, cultural centers, and bustling neighborhood corridors:

Empower Field at Mile High: Home of the NFL\'s Denver Broncos, monster truck rallies, and stadium mega-concerts, located roughly a 12- to 15-minute walk (approx. 0.7 miles) northeast, making this lot a favorite bypass for stadium-goers looking to avoid congested official parking plazas.
West Colfax Dining & Breweries: Just one block north along West Colfax Avenue, enjoy popular local institutions including Seedstock Brewery, Brew Culture Coffee, and nearby local taquerias.
Sloan\'s Lake & Alamo Drafthouse: Located less than a mile northwest, Sloan\'s Lake Park offers Denver\'s second-largest park setting alongside dining, cinema, and retail hot spots.

The lot allows for swift departures onto East/West arterial routes such as W. 14th Avenue and West Colfax Avenue, avoiding the bottleneck traffic that typically forms closer to Federal Boulevard. For regional highway access, both US-6 (6th Avenue Freeway) and Interstate 25 are reached in under five minutes via Federal Boulevard.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When attending major events or Denver Broncos home games at Empower Field, plan to arrive at least 60 to 90 minutes before kickoff or showtime to secure convenient placement and enjoy a leisurely walk to the gates. Keep an eye out for special event parking rates, which may replace standard hourly tariffs during stadium events. Always take note of the space number or license plate entered into the mobile payment app to ensure your session is activated without error, and review posted street signage if navigating surrounding side streets during peak event days.
