About this Location

Facility Overview

Time Park at 1300 Cherokee Street provides essential open-air surface parking nestled between West 13th and West 14th Avenues in Denver's vibrant Golden Triangle Creative District and Civic Center area. The facility features a paved, self-park layout designed for straightforward maneuvering and fast turnarounds. Because it is an open-air surface lot without low-hanging concrete decks or restrictive ceiling girders, the facility offers 100% open headroom clearance. This makes it an outstanding choice not only for standard sedans and compact cars, but also for full-size SUVs, oversized pickup trucks, commercial service vans, and vehicles outfitted with roof boxes, ski racks, or ladder attachments that cannot safely enter standard multi-story parking garages.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During weekday mornings, court sessions and municipal business can fill nearby streets rapidly; arriving before 8:30 AM helps ensure prompt space selection. Take note of your license plate number prior to exiting your vehicle, as Time Park lots enforce parking through digital license plate verification. When setting up your session via mobile payment, opt in to text notifications so you can easily extend your parking time directly from your smartphone without needing to return to the lot if a court case or museum exhibition runs longer than planned.
