About this Location

Facility Overview

The Shaw Park Plaza Garage serves the prominent 1 N Brentwood Boulevard commercial tower located in the heart of downtown Clayton, Missouri. This multi-level structured parking facility provides secure, weather-protected covered parking designed to accommodate business tenants, corporate visitors, and guests frequenting the central business district of St. Louis County. The garage features wide drive aisles, clearly designated speed ramps, clear directional signage, and elevator cores providing direct pedestrian access to both the office tower lobby and street level. The facility comfortably handles standard sedans, crossovers, mid-size pickup trucks, and standard SUVs. Drivers operating full-size trucks, lifted four-wheel drives, or conversion vans should observe posted clearance warnings (typically 6 feet 8 inches) upon entry. Oversized commercial vehicles and tall cargo haulers should seek dedicated open-air surface parking nearby.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Morning peak arrival hours (8:00 AM to 9:30 AM) and evening rush hours (4:30 PM to 6:00 PM) experience steady vehicle flow along Brentwood Boulevard; allotting an extra five minutes for your trip will ensure smooth ingress and egress. Keep your parking ticket safe inside your vehicle away from direct heat to ensure smooth barcode scanning at exit payment terminals. If visiting during large community gatherings in Shaw Park—such as the annual St. Louis Art Fair or seasonal music festivals—parking demand in the area increases substantially, so early arrival or carpooling is strongly advised.
