Facility Overview
Located at 659 N 10th Street in Downtown St. Louis, S & H Parking operates as an accessible open-air surface parking facility strategically positioned just steps from the city\'s major sports, convention, and entertainment venues. Its street-level footprint offers generous drive aisles and standard surface bays, ensuring seamless maneuverability for vehicles of all sizes. Because the lot is completely open-air without an overhead deck or height restrictor bars, it features virtually unlimited vertical clearance. This makes it an outstanding choice not only for standard compact cars and sedans, but also for full-size pickup trucks, commercial vans, tall SUVs, and vehicles carrying rooftop racks, bike carriers, or cargo boxes that cannot enter low-clearance downtown garages.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Arriving at and departing from S & H Parking is straightforward thanks to its proximity to the St. Louis downtown street grid and surrounding interstate systems. Ingress and egress points connect directly onto North 10th Street, allowing swift vehicular movements toward major east-west arteries such as Cole Street, Convention Plaza, and Washington Avenue. For highway commuters, Interstate 44, Interstate 70, and Interstate 64 are all accessible within two to three minutes, providing a fast route out of the core and avoiding deep gridlock post-event.
For those taking public transportation, the car park is well served by Metro Transit. The Convention Center MetroLink light rail station is located just a brief walk away, connecting visitors smoothly to Forest Park, Central West End, Lambert-St. Louis International Airport (STL), and the Illinois Metro East suburbs.

Visitor & Driver Tips
During marquee stadium concerts, conventions, or downtown festivals, spaces fill rapidly; drivers are strongly encouraged to arrive 45 to 60 minutes prior to showtime to claim a prime spot and avoid street congestion along 10th Street. Check posted signage upon arrival for electronic pay station instructions or scan-to-pay QR codes, and note your license plate number before walking toward the payment terminal. Keep all valuables tucked securely out of sight in your trunk, and pre-plan your route toward Interstate 70 or Interstate 44 for the smoothest departure when large crowds exit simultaneously.
