Downtown Kirkwood is visitor and customer friendly.
Free Public Parking is available on streets, within our numerous public parking lots and at the Station Plaza Garages.
On-Street Parking
There are hundreds of on-street parking spaces in downtown Kirkwood that allow you to park your vehicle a few steps from the door of your destination. Most of these spaces are 2-hour parking from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday-Saturday. Additionally, there are about a dozen strategically located 15-minute parking spaces that allow for quick pickups at our stores and restaurants.
Public Parking Lots and FREE Parking on the weekends!
Enjoy free all-day parking on most parking lots on Saturdays and Sundays (refer to the shaded parking lots represented on the map image). Free two-hour parking is available on public lots on other days of the week. There are also many three-hour parking spaces on public parking lots. The three-hour spaces are usually located on the perimeter of the lot. Free public parking is also available at Kirkwood City Hall—this centrally located parking lot is a great weekend and evening option.
Please note: Lots that are not shaded on the map image, and on-street parking spaces have a two-hour time limit on Saturdays.
