About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Downtown Denver, Welton Parking at 1100-1146 Welton St offers exceptionally convenient parking adjacent to the city\'s premier event and arts corridor. This open-air surface lot provides an uncluttered, single-level parking layout that eliminates the stress of navigating tight, multi-story spiral ramps. Because this is an uncovered surface facility without low ceiling beams, it provides unrestricted overhead clearance, making it suitable not only for standard sedans, compact cars, and electric vehicles, but also for full-size pickup trucks, lifted SUVs, high-profile commercial vans, and vehicles equipped with roof racks or cargo carriers.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During major conventions or high-profile events at the Bellco Theatre and DPAC, spaces in this corridor fill up fast; planning to arrive 30 to 45 minutes ahead of scheduled curtain times ensures you secure a convenient spot. Take note of event-day flat rates, and make sure your license plate number is entered accurately into the digital payment system before heading away from the vehicle.
