About this Location

Facility Overview

S&H Parking at 1444 Dr Martin Luther King Dr provides a dependable open-air surface parking solution on the northern edge of Downtown St. Louis. Situated near the intersection of Dr. Martin Luther King Drive and North 15th Street, this spacious lot offers direct, grade-level parking that eliminates the tight turns, steep ramps, and structural columns typically found in multi-story downtown garages. Because it is an unobstructed outdoor surface facility, it features no overhead height restrictions, making it an exceptional choice for tall passenger vans, full-size pickup trucks, commercial service vehicles, and lifted SUVs that exceed standard multi-level parking deck clearances.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When heading to this lot, enter 1444 Dr Martin Luther King Dr into your GPS system and monitor road signage as you approach North 15th Street.
