About this Location

Facility Overview

The 11th and Pine Lot is a centrally positioned, open-air surface parking facility situated at 201 N 11th Street in the heart of Downtown St. Louis, Missouri. Occupying a prime corner parcel at North 11th Street and Pine Street, this spacious street-level lot offers straightforward, drive-in convenience without the hassle of tight garage ramps, spiral decks, or low ceilings. Because this facility is an outdoor surface lot, it boasts completely unrestricted vertical clearance, making it an exceptional parking option for full-size pickup trucks, oversized SUVs, high-profile work vans, passenger vans, and vehicles equipped with rooftop cargo carriers or bike racks that cannot navigate traditional multi-level parking structures.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress and egress to the 11th and Pine Lot are straightforward, with curb-cut entrances providing smooth access from North 11th Street and Pine Street.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Drivers visiting during major home games for the Cardinals or Blues, or during headline concerts at Enterprise Center, should plan to arrive 45 to 60 minutes prior to event start times to ensure spot availability and smooth parking. When parking, make note of your vehicle's license plate number before walking toward the payment kiosk or activating your session on your smartphone parking app. Keep valuables out of plain view and lock vehicle doors to ensure an easy and secure visit to Downtown St. Louis.
