About this Location

Facility Overview

The 168 N Meramec Garage is a modern commercial parking structure situated directly along North Meramec Avenue in the heart of Downtown Clayton, Missouri. Serving both building tenants and public visitors, this covered facility provides weather-protected parking in Clayton\'s thriving municipal, legal, and financial district. The garage features clean driving lanes, clear directional signage, and accessible designated stalls near elevators and pedestrian entryways. While standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, and mid-size SUVs can maneuver with ease, drivers operating high-profile conversion vans, lifted trucks, or roof-rack-equipped vehicles should take note of standard structured clearance limits before entry.
