Facility Overview
Situated at 1499 Delmar Boulevard, this parking lot offers open-air surface parking on the western fringe of Downtown St. Louis and the Downtown West neighborhood, near the border of the Near North Riverfront and Midtown districts. The facility features standard marked asphalt bays designed to comfortably accommodate compact cars, sedans, crossovers, full-size SUVs, and standard pickup trucks.
