About this Location

Facility Overview

500 S Broadway Parking is a conveniently situated open-air surface parking facility located on the southern edge of Downtown St. Louis, Missouri. Positioned directly along South Broadway near the junction of Interstate 64, Interstate 44, and Interstate 55, this lot provides an accessible and stress-free alternative to crowded multi-story garages in the city center. Because it is an outdoor surface lot, it offers unobstructed vertical clearance, making it exceptionally well suited for high-profile vehicles including lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, passenger vans, and vehicles equipped with roof racks or cargo carriers that often exceed parking garage height restrictions.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

This parking facility is strategically located within easy walking distance of major sports, entertainment, and cultural destinations in downtown St. Louis:

Busch Stadium: Home of the MLB St. Louis Cardinals, located just a short 6- to 8-minute walk (less than 0.4 miles) north along Broadway, making it one of the most accessible game-day parking locations.
Ballpark Village: A premier entertainment and dining district featuring sports bars, live music venues, and restaurants, right across from Busch Stadium.
Enterprise Center & Stifel Theatre: Home of the NHL St. Louis Blues and premier touring concerts, located approximately 0.7 miles away (a 12- to 15-minute walk or brief rideshare).
Gateway Arch National Park: The world-famous monument, museum, and riverfront park are situated approximately 0.8 miles northeast along the Mississippi River.
Downtown Hospitality Hub: Close proximity to major hotels including The Westin St. Louis, Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark, and Hyatt Regency St. Louis at The Arch.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Entering and exiting 500 S Broadway is remarkably swift due to its positioning outside the tightest congestion bottlenecks of the urban core. Drivers enjoy direct curb-cut ingress and egress along South Broadway and adjacent cross streets. The lot\'s southern placement offers an unmatched logistical advantage after major games and concerts: drivers can bypass heavy gridlock around Busch Stadium and merge almost immediately onto I-64, I-44, or I-55 via nearby on-ramps. For public transit users, the MetroLink Stadium Station is situated just four blocks north, providing rapid light rail service connecting to Forest Park, St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL), and the Illinois suburbs.

Visitor & Driver Tips

On Cardinals home game dates and high-profile concert evenings, parking spaces can fill rapidly; arriving 45 to 60 minutes before scheduled start times ensures smooth parking and entry. Check digital signage and pay stations immediately upon parking to register your license plate and complete payment via credit card or approved parking application. If you plan to head home across the river to Illinois or west along I-64, take advantage of the immediate ramp connections right south of the lot to avoid Broadway\'s post-event bumper-to-bumper pedestrian traffic.
