About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated at 417 S 15th St in the Downtown West district of St. Louis, Missouri, the 417 South 15th parking facility is a practical and convenient open-air surface lot. Its prime position on the western edge of the urban core places visitors within easy reach of sports venues, historic landmarks, and commercial corridors.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When heading to high-profile sporting events or sold-out arena shows, expect dynamic event pricing and elevated foot traffic in the immediate area. Arriving 45 to 60 minutes prior to game face-off or concert start times will ensure the best spot selection and seamless parking. Always remember to display your physical payment receipt on your dashboard or ensure your license plate is entered accurately into the mobile payment app to prevent ticketing or towing.
