About this Location

Facility Overview

Located in the heart of Downtown Shreveport on Commerce Street, this surface-level parking facility offers convenient access to the city\'s historic district. As an open-air lot, it provides an excellent solution for drivers who prefer not to navigate the tight turns or vertical clearance restrictions found in parking garages. The lot is well-suited for standard passenger cars, large pickup trucks, and full-size SUVs. Because the facility is an open-air surface lot, there are no height restrictions, making it a viable option for those with oversized vehicles or roof racks.
