About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated at the vital intersection of North 10th Street and Convention Plaza in Downtown St. Louis, 1010 Convention Plaza Parking provides dependable, self-park vehicle parking right in the city\'s commercial and convention core. Configured as an open-air surface lot, the facility features unobstructed drive aisles, well-marked stalls, and direct ground-level access. Because it is an open outdoor parking lot without overhead clearance barriers, it readily accommodates oversized passenger vehicles, lifted pickup trucks, high-roof conversion vans, and full-size SUVs that often face vertical clearance restrictions in older downtown parking garages.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During marquee events at The Dome or multi-hall conventions at America\'s Center, spaces can fill up rapidly and special event flat rates may apply. Drivers are encouraged to arrive 45 to 60 minutes prior to major events to secure a prime stall. Make sure to note your license plate number before leaving your car, as mobile payment systems in downtown St. Louis typically operate on a pay-by-plate basis. Finally, remember to lock your vehicle and store all personal belongings out of sight to ensure a trouble-free visit.
