About this Location

Facility Overview

Plaza Frontenac - Lot 9 is an open-air surface parking facility serving Plaza Frontenac, the premier luxury shopping and dining destination in St. Louis County, Missouri. Located along Frontenac Woods Lane just off Clayton Road and South Lindbergh Boulevard, Lot 9 offers convenient, ground-level parking adjacent to the southern and eastern retail pavilions of the mall.

Wide drive aisles and clearly designated spaces provide stress-free maneuvering and parking for all motorists.

Visitor & Driver Tips

While self-parking in Lot 9 is complimentary and plentiful on typical weekdays, spaces closest to mall entrances fill rapidly during peak weekend shopping hours, holiday seasons, and Friday/Saturday dinner rushes. Drivers visiting for evening movies or weekend dining are encouraged to arrive 10 to 15 minutes ahead of reservations to secure a spot close to the entrance. If Lot 9 is heavily occupied, adjacent surface bays along the southern perimeter road offer additional overflow spaces only a few yards farther out.
