St. Louis Gateway Mall

St. Louis Gateway Mall is a linear park running from the Gateway Arch down toward Union Station, spanning several blocks in the downtown area. The space contains green areas, walking paths, and sitting spots arranged to form a connected public corridor.

The park developed from early 20th-century urban planning goals and was built in phases starting in the 1930s. This gradual construction shaped how the park exists today.

The space features contemporary sculptures and art installations that visitors encounter as they walk through. These artworks shape how the place looks and encourage people to engage with modern art in a public setting.

The area is easily walkable with multiple entry points and good access to public transportation. Wear comfortable shoes since exploring the entire space can take several hours.

A section features large metal sculptures by a renowned artist arranged without marked pathways. This unusual layout encourages visitors to explore the space on their own and discover their own routes.
