About this Location

Facility Overview

CityView Parking Lot is a well-situated, open-air surface parking facility located at 1536 Olive Street in the vibrant Downtown West neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri. Positioned along the bustling Olive Street corridor between North 15th and North 16th Streets, this spacious lot offers convenient, direct drive-in access for daily commuters, local residents, and visitors exploring downtown attractions. Because it is an unobstructed open-air lot, there are no restrictive multi-level ceiling clearance heights, making it an exceptional parking choice for standard passenger cars, large pickups, high-roof conversion vans, and full-size SUVs that often struggle with the low clearance limits of traditional downtown garages.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When planning to park during home soccer matches at CITYPARK or concerts at Enterprise Center, plan to arrive at least 45 to 60 minutes prior to event start times, as surface spaces in Downtown West tend to fill rapidly. Check mobile parking apps or on-site signage upon arrival for posted event-rate variations and duration limits. Keep vehicle doors locked, roll up windows fully, and store valuable personal belongings out of sight in the trunk to ensure a seamless and safe parking experience.
