About this Location

Facility Overview

The Metropolis parking facility at 1422 Delmar Boulevard offers open-air surface parking strategically positioned on the northern edge of Downtown West in St. Louis, Missouri. Situated along the Delmar corridor between North 14th and North 15th Streets, this facility features a wide, ground-level layout with paved bays and unobstructed drive aisles. Because it is an open-sky surface lot, there are zero vertical height clearance restrictions, making it an exceptional parking option not only for standard sedans and compact crossovers, but also for large pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, commercial utility vans, and high-roof passenger vans that cannot fit into standard downtown underground decks or multi-level garages.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Conveniently located within comfortable walking distance of several major downtown landmarks and the lively Washington Avenue Loft District, this lot serves as a reliable parking base for both daytime excursions and nightlife outings:

City Museum: Located just three blocks south (approx. 5-minute walk, 0.25 miles), making this lot one of the most practical and hassle-free parking alternatives for visitors exploring the world-renowned architectural playground.
Washington Avenue Entertainment District: A quick 3-minute stroll south brings visitors to Washington Avenue\'s eclectic mix of dining, cocktail lounges, cafes, and creative agencies.
America\'s Center Convention Center & The Dome: Located roughly 0.7 miles east (12 to 15-minute walk), ideal for convention delegates, trade shows, major concerts, and indoor sporting events.
CITYPARK Stadium: Situated about 0.8 miles southwest, serving as an accessible park-and-walk option for St. Louis CITY SC soccer matches.
St. Louis Union Station & St. Louis Wheel: Just under a mile southwest, providing a straight walk or quick rideshare to the St. Louis Aquarium, Wheel, and family attractions.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress and egress are straightforward directly via Delmar Boulevard, providing easy vehicular entry away from the congested grid of internal Downtown St. Louis streets. Exiting the facility after major events at the Dome or Washington Avenue venues is fast and avoids bottlenecking. The lot is positioned minutes from major regional thoroughfares: Interstate 64 (I-64/US-40) to the south and Interstate 44 / Interstate 70 to the east and north. For public transit users, multiple MetroBus routes operate along Delmar Boulevard and nearby Tucker Boulevard, and the Convention Center and 8th & Pine MetroLink light rail stations are within a 15-minute walk for rapid transit across the greater St. Louis metropolitan area and to St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL).
