Facility Overview
Situated in the heart of Denver\'s historic Lower Downtown (LoDo) neighborhood, the SP+ Parking facility at 1615 18th Street offers exceptional parking convenience for both daily commuters and weekend visitors. Operating as an open-air surface lot situated along 18th Street between Wynkoop and Wazee Streets, this location delivers easy ground-level access without the confined navigation or spiral ramps typical of multi-deck garages. Because there are no overhead clearance limitations, the lot easily accommodates oversized vehicles, full-size pickup trucks, large SUVs, high-roof conversion vans, and vehicles equipped with ski racks or rooftop cargo boxes that cannot enter standard height-restricted downtown garages.

Visitor & Driver Tips
During Rockies home games, concerts, and weekend peak hours, space fills up rapidly and event rates may apply. Arriving 45 to 60 minutes prior to scheduled game first pitches ensures prime stall selection. Always keep note of your vehicle\'s license plate number before approaching the automated pay machines or registering through mobile payment apps to ensure an efficient, trouble-free check-in.
