Parking Information

CSU Spur is located on Google at 4777 National Western Dr., Denver, CO. Please follow the signs for Spur Parking on the north side of the Vida building (Blue ‘P’ lot in the Parking Map). This is a large, uncovered lot and should not be confused with the smaller lot located directly beside the horse stables (which is reserved for Humane Colorado client parking at their clinic). From the lot, walk along National Western Drive back towards Spur (avoiding the roped-off construction zones) to the Hydro (silver) building.
