Parking Hints for Meetings

First United Methodist Church
1421 Spruce Street, Boulder, CO 80302

Wherever you choose to park in downtown Boulder, look closely at the posted signs to be sure you're parked legally and avoid tickets.

Please add extra time to park and walk.

Consider carpooling. If you're an HGB member, search the online directory using Advanced Search by zip code to find nearby members. HGB also has a Carpool Inquiries Coordinator; contact Nuala Dundon at carpool@handweaversofboulder.org.


FUMC is at the center. Colors below match the parking options that follow.

1 Free parallel street parking, 1+ blocks from First United Methodist Church

Mon-Fri, 8am-8pm

Free for 3 hours

Easiest 8am-10am

2 Very close street parking encircling First United Methodist Church

Mon-Sat, 9am-7pm ~$9.45 for 3 hr max 15 min FREE

ParkMobile contactless street parking. Prepare ahead by downloading the ParkMobile app and creating an account — you can scan the QR code on the sign, but it's easier to set up at home. When you park, find the nearest signpost and enter the zone number into the app.

About 30 spaces on 14th Street between Pine and Spruce (next to First United Methodist Church) are usually open before 9:45am. Kiosks take credit card or coin — no bills, no change.

Good to know: You can park 15 minutes free at the app or kiosk — but you must enter your license plate and the zone number. Handy for the 7pm Evening Meeting: use the free 15 minutes to park and walk in, and metered parking ends at 7pm, when free evening parking begins.

Note the zone number on the sign.

Look for the green “P” kiosks.

Kiosk: follow the on-screen steps.

Pay by phone with the Metropolis app.
