By Car:

The Parkway Center Building is located over the King Sooper's Supermarket at 1391 North Speer Boulevard. Visitor parking is on the third level at the south end of the lot. The cost is $3 a day for "early bird" parking (arriving before 9:00 a.m.) on a space-available basis. To get the "early bird" rate you must park in the south end of level 3, beyond the signs that specify the "early bird" area. Our office does not provide parking validation. The regular daily rate is $4.00. The ramp to the parking area is in the NW corner of the King Sooper's lot. This ramp can be accessed by entering the supermarket parking lot at street level from entrances on Santa Fe Drive (one-way northbound), eastbound 14th Avenue (also one-way), and southbound Speer Boulevard. The walkway from the visitor parking level to the building takes you directly to the elevators. The training facility is on the 8th floor, toward the west end of the building. If there are no visitor parking spaces available, there are lots on the east side of Speer Boulevard. If you park on the east side of Speer, take the 14th Avenue bridge back to the street entrance on the north side of the building. You should NOT use the King Sooper's lot for all-day parking when visiting the training facility.

Walking:

The street level entrance is located on the north side of the building, facing West 14th Avenue. The training facility is located on the 8th floor, toward the west end of the building. Signs will direct you to the facility.
