About this Location

Facility Overview

The parking lot at 2140 Arapahoe Street is a conveniently situated open-air surface parking facility in Downtown Denver, bridging the vibrant Ballpark neighborhood, Arapahoe Square, and the historic Five Points district. As an outdoor surface lot, it offers an unrestricted vertical clearance profile, making it particularly advantageous for high-profile vehicles such as lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, commercial utility vans, and vehicles equipped with roof racks or cargo carriers that typically cannot clear downtown Denver\'s multi-level underground or covered parking structures. The lot features clearly demarcated bays, straightforward two-way driving aisles, and a flat paved surface designed for easy maneuvering and quick turnarounds.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Positioned on Arapahoe Street between 21st and 22nd Streets, this facility serves as an ideal staging ground for major sports, nightlife, dining, and cultural excursions:

Coors Field: Home of the Colorado Rockies, located just 4 to 5 blocks northwest (roughly an 8 to 10-minute walk), making it a prime choice for game days and summer baseball outings without getting trapped in the immediate stadium gridlock.
RiNo Art District & Five Points: A short 10-minute stroll north brings visitors to Denver\'s renowned craft breweries, cideries, live music venues, art galleries, and food halls.
Downtown Denver & 16th Street Mall: Roughly 6 blocks southwest (under a 10-minute walk), offering seamless access to high-rise corporate offices, retail stores, and the Denver Pavilions.
Ophelia\'s Electric Soapbox & Marquis Theater: Located within a 3 to 5-minute walk, providing unbeatable access for evening concerts and dining.
Larimer Square & LoDo (Lower Downtown): Accessible in approximately 12 to 15 minutes on foot, opening up Denver\'s premier historic dining and cocktail corridor.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress and egress are straightforward from Arapahoe Street, a one-way street heading southwest, allowing drivers to enter smoothly without crossing opposing lanes. For drivers arriving from outside downtown, the lot is readily accessible via I-25 (exiting onto Park Avenue West or 20th Street) and I-70. Following peak events at Coors Field or nearby music venues, departing traffic flows efficiently out toward Park Avenue West and Broadway to bypass the heaviest central LoDo congestion. Public transit users benefit from immediate access to RTD local bus lines along Broadway and Curtis Street, as well as the 20th & Welton light rail station (L Line) just four blocks away.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because of Arapahoe Street\'s one-way flow, approach the facility heading southwest from 22nd Street. During Colorado Rockies home games, opening day festivities, and major weekend events, this lot operates on event-rate flat pricing and fills rapidly; arriving 45 to 60 minutes prior to first pitch or showtime is strongly recommended. Keep your license plate number handy when paying, as spaces are monitored electronically via Pay-by-Plate systems.
