About this Location

Facility Overview

The parking facility operated by Metropolis at 1435 Delmar Boulevard provides convenient, open-air surface parking right on the edge of the vibrant Downtown West neighborhood and the Washington Avenue Loft District in St. Louis, Missouri. Designed for straightforward drive-in accessibility, this spacious paved lot features clearly delineated stalls and wide drive aisles that facilitate simple maneuvers for vehicles of all sizes. Because this is an open surface lot without overhead structures or low ceiling beams, it offers virtually unlimited vertical clearance. This makes it an exceptional choice not only for standard sedans, compact cars, and crossovers, but also for full-size pickup trucks, oversized SUVs, high-profile commercial vans, and vehicles outfitted with rooftop cargo boxes or bike racks.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a seamless visit, set your navigation system directly to 1435 Delmar Blvd and approach from either North 14th or North 15th Street. Ensure you have a smartphone ready to scan the posted Metropolis parking QR codes or enter your license plate number to initiate your session immediately upon parking. During major events at America\'s Center, CITYPARK match days, or peak weekend visiting hours at the City Museum, plan to arrive 20 to 30 minutes ahead of schedule to claim your preferred parking stall and beat incoming traffic flow. As with any downtown urban surface lot, always lock your doors, roll up windows completely, and stow all personal belongings and valuables out of sight inside your trunk.
