About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Denver’s vibrant Golden Triangle Creative District, the SP+ parking facility at 1363 Delaware Street provides exceptionally convenient, open-air surface parking for visitors, museum patrons, and civic workers alike. Located on Delaware Street between West 13th Avenue and West 14th Avenue, this paved lot offers clear line-of-sight parking, generous turn radiuses, and straightforward stall layouts. Because it is an open-air surface lot, drivers enjoy unobstructed vertical clearance, making it an outstanding choice not just for standard passenger sedans, but also for full-size pickup trucks, lifted SUVs, roof-rack-equipped vehicles, and high-roof passenger or cargo vans that often exceed standard parking garage height limits.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Navigating to 1363 Delaware Street is straightforward from across the Denver metropolitan area. Drivers approaching from Interstate 25 can take the 6th Avenue (US-6) or Colfax Avenue exits and transition north or south via Speer Boulevard or Santa Fe Drive. Delaware Street runs as a manageable one-way or quiet two-way local thoroughfare in this sector, making ingress and egress smooth compared to high-traffic arterials like Broadway or Lincoln. Exiting the lot after peak hours or museum closing times is generally swift without the bottlenecking typical of structured ramps. For regional transit travelers, the facility is well served by RTD bus lines along Broadway, Lincoln Street, and Colfax Avenue, and sits within a short 10-minute walk or quick scooter ride from the Theatre District/Convention Center Light Rail Station.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During major museum exhibition openings, First Friday art walks, and large civic gatherings at Civic Center Park, parking in the Golden Triangle can fill rapidly; arriving before 10:00 AM on weekends or reserving ahead via affiliated parking apps is highly recommended. Always verify and register your vehicle\'s license plate correctly at the payment kiosk or mobile portal immediately upon parking to prevent automated citations or vehicle booting. If visiting in the heat of a Denver summer, remember that this is an uncovered surface lot, so packing a windshield sunshade will keep your interior comfortable upon return.
