Facility Overview
Ballas Garage is a multi-level structured parking facility centrally situated along South New Ballas Road in Creve Coeur, Missouri (St. Louis County). Designed to support the bustling healthcare and professional office corridor surrounding the Mercy Hospital St. Louis campus and adjacent medical pavilions, the garage offers sheltered, multi-deck parking built for seamless vehicular flow. With clearly delineated lanes, generous stall widths, and standard garage overhead clearance (typically 7\'0\" on interior decks), the facility easily accommodates compact cars, sedans, crossovers, minivans, and standard-sized pickup trucks and SUVs. Drivers operating lifted trucks, oversized commercial vans, or vehicles equipped with high roof racks should utilize designated ground-level or exterior surface spaces to avoid clearance conflicts.

Visitor & Driver Tips
During peak clinic hours between 8:30 AM and 2:30 PM on weekdays, lower levels and spaces adjacent to elevator lobbies fill quickly; heading up to upper decks often yields immediate, stress-free space availability. Always take note of your level color, section letter, or nearest elevator bank when departing your vehicle. If you are escorting an individual with limited mobility, consider using the sheltered ground-level passenger drop-off vestibules before proceeding into the garage to park.
