Places to park in Downtown Denton

If you are heading our way this weekend for Spring Open House we wanted to create a handy Google Map of all of the public parking in Downtown. Did you know that there are 8 Public Parking lots within a 5 minute walk of Downtown! Check it out on our parking page here.

Downtown Parking

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!  

Downtown STREET Parking

Though there are many open streets surrounding Downtown Denton, we recommend staying within the Mulberry St to McKinney St and N. Carroll Blvd to Bell Ave area.
