About this Location

Facility Overview

University Hill Parking, located at 1080 14th St in Boulder, Colorado, offers an exceptionally convenient parking solution directly within Boulder\'s legendary \'The Hill\' district. Positioned right across Broadway from the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) campus, this open-air surface lot provides seamless, ground-level access for drivers visiting the vibrant commercial, dining, and academic core of the neighborhood. Because this is an open-sky surface facility with no overhead structures, standard passenger cars, large pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, and rooftop-accessorized mountain vehicles can park without worrying about low clearance limits or tight ceiling heights.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Situated in the heart of University Hill, this facility places drivers steps away from iconic Boulder institutions and student life centers:

The Fox Theatre: Boulder\'s premier historic concert venue is merely a 2-minute walk (less than 0.1 miles) away on 13th Street, making this a top choice for concertgoers.
The Sink & Local Eateries: Legendary culinary and nightlife destinations including The Sink, Illegal Pete\'s, Half Fast Subs, and Cosmo\'s Pizza are within a 1- to 3-minute stroll.
University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder): Direct pedestrian access across Broadway leads to the University Memorial Center (UMC), Norlin Library, and central campus greens in under 5 minutes.
Folsom Field & CU Events Center: Buffaloes game days are easily accessible, with Folsom Field located roughly a 12- to 15-minute walk across campus.
Chautauqua Park & Flatirons Trailheads: Historic Chautauqua Park and hiking trails are just a 3-minute drive or a brisk 15-minute uphill walk away.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress and egress to the 1080 14th Street facility are straightforward via 14th Street, accessible from College Avenue or Pennsylvania Avenue just west of Broadway. The surrounding neighborhood streets experience heavy pedestrian and bicycle traffic, so drivers are advised to maneuver with care when entering and exiting. For regional travel, Broadway connects smoothly north toward Downtown Boulder and the Pearl Street Mall, and south toward US-36 (Denver-Boulder Turnpike). RTD bus transit is extraordinarily accessible, with the Skip, Hop, and regional flatiron flyer stops along Broadway within a short two-block radius.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During CU Boulder home football games, commencement ceremonies, and weekend concerts at The Fox Theatre, parking spaces fill up rapidly; plan to arrive at least 45 to 60 minutes early to secure a stall. Pay attention to posted pay station signs and ensure you input your correct license plate number via ParkMobile or the on-site kiosk immediately after parking. Watch carefully for students, skateboarders, and cyclists along 14th Street and College Avenue when pulling into and out of the lot.
