About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the historic heart of Downtown St. Louis, 1120 St Charles St Parking provides an open-air surface lot solution for drivers visiting the vibrant Washington Avenue Loft District, downtown offices, and major entertainment destinations. The lot features clearly demarcated bays and broad maneuvering aisles that facilitate straightforward navigation. Because this is an open-air surface facility without an overhead structure, it offers open-sky vertical clearance, making it an excellent option not only for standard sedans and compact cars but also for oversized passenger vehicles, lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, and roof-rack-equipped vehicles that might struggle with the height restrictions of multi-story parking garages.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During major conventions, Cardinals home stands, or concerts at The Dome, downtown street parking fills rapidly. Arriving 45 to 60 minutes before your event ensures you can secure a spot without fighting gridlock. Always verify posted signage at the lot entrance for current event flat rates and digital payment instructions. Keep your vehicle secure by locking all doors and keeping valuables and bags hidden out of sight.
