Facility Overview

Conveniently situated in the vibrant cultural heart of Downtown Denver, the SP+ parking facility at 1025 13th Street serves as the primary parking garage for the Denver Performing Arts Complex (DPAC) and surrounding civic districts. This modern, multi-level covered parking structure provides seamless, sheltered access to Denver’s premier arts and entertainment venues. The facility is fully paved, brightly illuminated, and thoughtfully laid out with multiple levels of striped bays, dedicated accessible spaces, and intuitive directional signage. Standard passenger sedans, crossovers, and mid-sized SUVs can easily navigate the sweeping ramps and drive aisles. Drivers of lifted full-size trucks or oversized high-roof passenger vans should verify posted clearance limits (standard multi-level clearance typically posted around 6 feet 8 inches) prior to entry.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because this facility serves multiple performing arts halls simultaneously, peak exit queues can form immediately following major curtain calls. If attending an evening show, consider arriving 45 to 60 minutes early to secure a prime stall near lower-level exit ramps. Event-based flat rates are commonly instituted during high-demand performances, so booking ahead via supported parking reservation apps is strongly recommended to guarantee entry and lock in competitive rates. Keep a photo or note of your parking level and pillar number to ensure quick retrieval after your event.
