About this Location

Facility Overview

The Tucker & St. Charles parking lot is a convenient open-air surface facility situated at 1120 St Charles St in the heart of Downtown St. Louis, Missouri. Positioned at the intersection of North Tucker Boulevard and St. Charles Street, this parking lot offers open-sky vehicle accommodation just steps away from the bustling Washington Avenue corridor. Because this is a ground-level, open-air surface lot without low-clearance ceilings or garage ramps, it is exceptionally versatile for a wide range of personal and commercial vehicles. Standard sedans, crossover utility vehicles, full-size pickup trucks, passenger vans, and vehicles equipped with roof racks or cargo carriers can park comfortably without the clearance anxiety common to downtown parking garages.
