Facility Overview
The Municipal Garage at 1110 Clark Avenue is a centrally positioned multi-level covered parking structure located in Downtown West St. Louis. Strategically situated along Clark Avenue between South 11th Street and Tucker Boulevard, this municipal parking deck provides substantial covered capacity for daily commuters, municipal workers, and sports fans alike. The garage features standard ramp-access decks with clearly marked driving aisles and pedestrian stairwells/elevators. It comfortably accommodates standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, and standard-sized SUVs. However, drivers of oversized full-size pickup trucks, lifted utility vehicles, or high-roof commercial vans should note the standard multi-level clearance restrictions posted at the entrance (typically around 6\'8\" to 7\'0\") and check clearance bars before entering.

Visitor & Driver Tips
During Blues home games, major Enterprise Center concerts, and Cardinals weekend series, event-rate surcharges may apply, and cash/card collections may transition to flat-rate event operations. To secure a seamless parking experience, arrive at least 45 to 60 minutes prior to puck drop or first pitch. When exiting post-game, turning onto 11th Street toward I-64 provides one of the fastest routes away from downtown traffic gridlock.
