About this Location

Facility Overview

The Barnes-Jewish Parkview Garage is a modern multi-level parking deck serving the north end of the Washington University Medical Center campus, specifically accommodating visitors, patients, and staff accessing Parkview Tower, Barnes-Jewish Hospital, and St. Louis Children\'s Hospital. Situated at 1 Parkview Place in the vibrant Central West End neighborhood of St. Louis, this high-capacity covered structure offers clean, well-lit, weather-protected parking right along the eastern edge of historic Forest Park. The facility easily accommodates standard sedans, crossovers, and full-size SUVs. Drivers of oversized vehicles, commercial conversion vans, or tall pickup trucks with aftermarket roof equipment should observe posted clearance limits (typically 7\'0\" to 8\'2\" depending on the deck entry level) and utilize designated ground-level or high-clearance bays when available.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Keep Your Ticket Handy: Take your entry ticket with you when leaving your car to utilize the self-service pay-on-foot stations inside the lobby before returning to your vehicle to expedite exit gate flow.
Patient Validations: Inpatients, surgical visitors, and outpatient clinic attendees should always inquire with hospital reception or clinic front desks regarding patient parking ticket validation to access discounted parking tariffs.
Peak Arrival Windows: Hospital shift turnovers and primary clinical check-ins typically occur between 7:00 AM – 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM; planning arrival outside of these windows ensures quicker navigation through ingress lanes.
Navigation Clarity: Set your navigation GPS specifically to 1 Parkview Pl, St. Louis, MO 63110 to avoid being misrouted toward the older South Campus garages along Barnes Jewish Hospital Plaza.
