About this Location

Facility Overview

Park STL at 700 S 4th St provides expansive and convenient surface parking located directly on the southern edge of Downtown St. Louis. Situated along the South 4th Street corridor near the junction of Interstate 64, Interstate 44, and Interstate 55, this facility is designed as a level, open-air asphalt parking lot. Because it is an open-air surface lot with no overhead structure, it eliminates the low-ceiling concerns typical of downtown parking garages. It offers unobstructed vertical clearance, making it exceptionally well-suited not only for standard sedans, crossovers, and minivans, but also for full-sized pickup trucks, lifted utility vehicles, passenger vans, and high-roof work vehicles.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

This parking location serves as an ideal staging ground for major sports and entertainment events in downtown St. Louis. Key regional destinations within convenient walking distance or a short rideshare trip include:

Busch Stadium & Ballpark Village: Approximately an 8 to 10-minute walk (0.4 miles) north along 4th Street, making this one of the most practical and cost-effective parking choices for St. Louis Cardinals baseball games and stadium concerts.
Gateway Arch National Park: Roughly 0.7 miles northeast, accessible via a leisurely walk along the riverfront grounds and downtown park avenues.
Enterprise Center & St. Louis Union Station: Located less than one mile northwest, easily reached on foot or via a 5-minute rideshare for St. Louis Blues hockey games, family ice shows, and major arena tours.
Old Courthouse: Situated approximately 0.6 miles north along 4th Street.
Riverfront & Mississippi Greenway: Just a short walk east toward the historic riverfront trails and riverboat cruises.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress and egress are straightforward via South 4th Street, which connects directly to major downtown arterials like Chouteau Avenue, Broadway, and Clark Avenue. One of the greatest strategic advantages of this lot is its rapid freeway access: drivers can enter Interstate 64 (I-64/US-40), Interstate 55 (I-55), and Interstate 44 (I-44) within moments of departing the gate, allowing visitors to bypass the heavy, gridlocked post-game traffic that commonly impacts multi-story garages closer to the stadium core. For regional transit travelers, the Stadium MetroLink light rail station is located just under a half-mile north, providing easy train connections across the St. Louis metropolitan area.

Concertgoers & Event Attendees: Visitors attending evening shows, community runs, or riverfront festivals.
Oversized Vehicle Drivers: Contractors, tradespeople, or travelers with lifted trucks and tall vans that cannot clear standard parking garage clearances.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When attending high-profile events such as Cardinals opening week or playoff games, plan to arrive at least 45 to 60 minutes before first pitch to secure a prime stall and enjoy an unhurried walk to the gates. Keep an eye out for event-day flat rate pricing, which may replace standard hourly rates during major downtown events. To ensure a quick departure toward South County, Illinois, or West County, orient your vehicle toward the exit facing your preferred Interstate interchange route before kickoff or the final out.
