About this Location

Facility Overview

Arch-Parking, situated at 200 N 4th St in the heart of Downtown St. Louis, offers premier, highly accessible parking just steps from the Mississippi Riverfront. This facility provides a secure and strategically positioned option for travelers, commuters, and tourists exploring the iconic Gateway Arch grounds. Configured to accommodate standard passenger cars, crossovers, and full-size SUVs, the lot provides clear sightlines and well-marked bays that make maneuvering straightforward. Because it operates with expansive open-air clearance, drivers of taller vehicles, lifted trucks, and passenger vans with roof accessories do not face the tight low-clearance restrictions commonly encountered in older subterranean downtown decks.

Boasting one of the most advantageous locations in downtown St. Louis, the facility sits directly opposite the Gateway Arch National Park and the historic Old Courthouse.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
