Parking
Getting Around Downtown
Did you know that Downtown Denton is walkable? You can get from one side of the downtown area to the other in about a 10 minute, 1/2 mile walk. Park your car and take a walk around. Discover new restaurants, businesses and street art while you're out. It’s one of the best ways to get to know Denton!
Below we've created a detailed list of available free street parking, public parking lots, as well as available paid lots so you're informed and aware of places to park all across the Downtown area. As lots improve or change, we'll update this list to best reflect said changes. Downtown has much to offer including parking; we can't wait to see you out and about with friends and family!
Availability and times to use Public and Private Lots are subject to change without notice. Please always refer to signage in the parking lot when parking.

Did You Know?
We frequently get asked what the size of the Downtown Denton area is, and how far of a walk it may be from one business to another. We took the time to take a look at another popular shopping area in Denton, the Golden Triangle Mall, to see the difference in size and walkability. Our results were pretty interesting! Did you know that if you walk the entire Golden Triangle Mall it would be like walking from Square 205 to Eastside, and from the post office to Wild Cactus? With that information, we've put this together as a handy reference for those who may want to know more.
