Facility Overview
The 15 S St Clair St Parking facility is a conveniently located downtown Toledo open-air surface lot positioned right in the vibrant Hensville and Warehouse District corridor. Providing seamless off-street parking options for both local commuters and leisure visitors, the facility features a flat, paved surface with clearly demarcated parking stalls. Because it operates as an outdoor surface lot, it provides open vertical headroom without clearance restrictions, making it particularly accommodating for oversized pickup trucks, tall SUVs, utility vehicles, and passenger vans equipped with roof racks that typically struggle in low-clearance parking garages.

Visitor & Driver Tips
During Toledo Mud Hens home games and major concerts at Huntington Center, downtown traffic can experience short-term congestion along Washington and Summit Streets. Arriving 30 to 45 minutes ahead of scheduled first pitch or showtime ensures you secure a space without rush. Keep an eye on special event tariff notices that may adjust standard hourly rates during high-attendance downtown events. Note your stall number or vehicle license plate prior to paying at the automated terminal or through mobile checkout apps.
