About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the pulsating core of Denver’s historic Lower Downtown (LoDo) district, SP+ Parking at 1743 Wazee Street offers exceptionally convenient urban parking. This open-air surface parking facility provides swift, frictionless drive-up access without the tight ramps, winding multi-level spirals, or claustrophobic driving lanes typical of subterranean decks. Because it is an outdoor surface lot, standard height restriction barriers do not apply, offering open-air vertical headroom that readily accommodates high-profile vehicles, full-size pickup trucks (such as Ford F-150s and Chevy Silverados), large SUVs, and passenger vehicles outfitted with rooftop cargo boxes, bike racks, or ski carriers. Wide navigation bays and well-demarcated spaces make maneuvering straightforward for both standard passenger cars and larger vehicles.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During Colorado Rockies home games, major weekend festivals, and Union Station holiday events, parking demand in LoDo escalates rapidly and special event flat rates often apply. Drivers are encouraged to arrive 45 to 60 minutes prior to first pitch or event start times to secure a space easily. Remember your license plate number before leaving your vehicle, as payment terminals and mobile payment applications require license plate entry for virtual parking validation. When departing after major events at Coors Field, heading down 18th Street toward Park Avenue West offers a fast bypass around downtown pedestrian congestion to reach I-25.
