Denver offers $5 parking for thousands of downtown spots this summer

Snag a cheap spot downtown this summer through September with a new Denver parking initiative.

Mayor Mike Johnston issued a news release on Monday announcing the City and County of Denver partnered with SpotHero to launch “Mayor’s Park $5.” It’s described as a “first-of-its-kind initiative that will make thousands of parking spots available in Downtown Denver for $5.”

SpotHero is an online and mobile parking reservation service available in more than 400 cities across the U.S. and Canada.

“This program is a win for everyone,” said Mayor Johnston in the release. “It makes parking easier to find and afford, it encourages people to enjoy downtown, and it fills up spaces that might otherwise sit empty. I’m grateful to the vendors and especially to SpotHero for their partnership in helping us lower costs for Denverites.”

The special price is available from “morning to late afternoon on Mondays and Fridays,” and every weeknight at 4 p.m. It’s also available for 12-hour parking on Saturdays and Sundays. The initiative includes up to 5,000 spots in the Denver area.

“In partnership with the Mayor’s Office, SpotHero will also offer a promo code to waive the $.99 service fee, the first of which is MILEHIGH5,” the news release said.

“We’re excited to work with the City of Denver to shine a light on just how much parking is available downtown and make it easier for people to come experience it,” said John Horton, senior vice president of Sales at SpotHero, in the release.

More information about the program is on SpotHero’s online platform.
