Facility Overview
6th Street Parking and Shuttle at 1120 S 6th St offers a practical, high-capacity surface parking destination situated just south of Downtown St. Louis in the vibrant LaSalle Park and Soulard periphery. Arranged as an open-air surface lot, the facility provides an uncluttered, level parking layout that makes maneuvering straightforward for drivers of all vehicle categories. Because it is completely open-air without restrictive overhead decks or low clearance bars, the lot comfortably accommodates high-clearance pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, passenger vans, and vehicles equipped with roof racks or cargo carriers that often struggle to fit into multi-level downtown parking garages.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Strategically located right between the bustling Downtown core and the historic Soulard neighborhood, this facility is ideally positioned for sports enthusiasts, convention visitors, and tourists exploring the Gateway City. Key landmarks and venues nearby include:
- Busch Stadium & Ballpark Village: Located less than a mile north (approximately a 12 to 15-minute walk or brief shuttle ride), making it one of the premier staging areas for St. Louis Cardinals home games and major stadium concerts.
- Enterprise Center & St. Louis Union Station: Situated roughly 1.2 miles northwest, accessible quickly via rideshare or local shuttle on St. Louis Blues game nights.
- Historic Soulard & Soulard Farmers Market: Just blocks to the south, home to lively brick-lined streets, Cajun eateries, blues clubs, and legendary Mardi Gras celebrations.
- Gateway Arch National Park & Riverfront: Situated about 1.2 miles northeast, an easy ride for visitors heading to the iconic monument and riverboat cruises.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Access to the lot is smooth and direct from South 6th Street, with secondary approaches via Gratiot Street, Chouteau Avenue, and South 7th Street. Its location right alongside the junction of Interstate 64 (I-64), Interstate 44 (I-44), and Interstate 55 (I-55) gives drivers a massive strategic advantage: visitors can exit events quickly and merge straight onto regional interstate routes without being trapped in gridlocked downtown city center traffic.
