About this Location

Facility Overview

The 10th & Spruce Lot is a conveniently located open-air surface parking facility situated at 900 Spruce Street in the vibrant heart of Downtown St. Louis, Missouri. Positioned at the intersection of South 10th Street and Spruce Street, the lot serves as a reliable, straightforward parking destination for downtown commuters, sports fans, and weekend visitors. Because it is an open-air surface parking lot without overhead barriers, low ceilings, or garage clearance restrictions, it provides generous headroom and is fully accommodating for high-profile vehicles, lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, passenger vans, and vehicles equipped with roof racks or cargo carriers that typically cannot enter standard multi-level garages.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a smooth parking experience, keep the following recommendations in mind:

Plan for Game-Day Rates: Special event pricing and surge tariffs apply during Cardinals home games, Blues matches, and major arena concerts. Pre-purchasing parking via mobile parking apps where available can lock in rates and ensure space.
Arrive Early: During sold-out games or weekend doubleheaders, downtown traffic intensifies quickly. Plan to arrive 45 to 60 minutes before scheduled start times to secure prime stalls and avoid delays.
Note Your Stall or Zone Number: When paying through digital payment kiosks or mobile parking apps, take note of your space number, zone ID, and license plate details.
Easy Departure Strategy: Following events at Busch Stadium or Enterprise Center, exiting via 10th Street south directly onto highway access ramps will often help you bypass the heaviest crowds on Clark and Market Streets.
