Parking in Idaho Springs…The Facts
Paid Parking in Idaho Springs
The City of Idaho Springs has introduced a new parking management system. This system will allow free parking in downtown Idaho Springs for locals – people who live and/or work in town. Visitors will be required to pay for their street parking or for parking in designated parking lots. There will be stations throughout the town where you can pay, or you can use the “Park Idaho Springs” app to pay quickly and easily.
All Around Downtown
Because of how the town is situated, with business beside business all along Miner Street, there is not readily available parking for each business. Most cars park along the street.
The city has introduced the paid parking system in lots throughout downtown, providing more than 300 extra parking spots outside of street parking. The new pricing for parking in Idaho Springs varies depending on whether you choose street or lot parking and the length of time you are parked.

- 25¢ for the first 15 minutes
- $1/hour for the first 3 hours
- $5/hour after 3 hours
Lot Parking Pricing
- 25¢ for the first 15 minutes
- $1/hour for the first 5 hours
