About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of St. Louis\'s historic Laclede’s Landing district, the CitiPark facility at 605 N 2nd Street offers accessible and dependable open-air parking directly adjacent to the Mississippi Riverfront. Surrounded by 19th-century brick and cast-iron warehouses, this outdoor surface parking lot provides convenient drive-in access without the height constraints associated with underground or multi-tier covered structures. Standard sedans, full-size SUVs, crossover models, large pickup trucks, and high-clearance commercial or conversion vans can navigate and park comfortably thanks to wide driving lanes and unobstructed overhead clearance.

Visitor & Driver Tips

The historic streets of Laclede\'s Landing feature cobblestones and brick paving along select blocks, so approach the entrance at a moderate speed. During peak concert evenings, conventions at America\'s Center, or riverfront holiday fireworks displays (such as Fair Saint Louis), parking spaces fill up rapidly and event rates may apply. Drivers are advised to arrive 45 to 60 minutes before major events or lock in parking reservations in advance via compatible parking reservation apps to ensure entry.
