About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the historic Downtown West neighborhood of St. Louis, the 1700-1798 Linden St Parking facility provides an accessible and convenient open-air surface parking option. Positioned along Linden Street between North 17th Street and North 18th Street, just steps away from Washington Avenue and Lucas Avenue, this lot offers level, easily navigable surface parking stalls. Because this is an open-sky surface lot without overhead deck structures or low-hanging ceiling beams, there are no restrictive vertical clearance limits. This makes it an exceptional choice for drivers navigating downtown in high-roof conversion vans, lifted pickup trucks, commercial service vans, and full-size passenger SUVs, alongside everyday sedans and compact cars.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When planning your trip, consider pre-paying via mobile parking platforms if available, especially on weekend afternoons when City Museum attendance peaks or during major evening soccer matches at CITYPARK. Be sure to note your license plate number before walking to the payment kiosk or completing your session on your smartphone, as many downtown lots enforce digital license plate verification. If visiting during cold winter snaps or rainy spells, exercise standard care on the open surface asphalt, and always remember to lock your vehicle and stow any visible personal belongings and bags out of sight in your trunk.
