## Parking at River Boat Boarding on North Saint Mary's Street

The site is at 104 North Saint Mary's Street in downtown San Antonio, 0.3 mi from San Antonio centre. Go Rio directs visitors toward downtown garages, parking lots, and metered parking, with a parking map for planning the approach to the River Walk (goriocruises.com).

The San Antonio River Walk says more than 2,000 parking meters operate across the area. Most meters are enforced from 8 AM to 6 PM, Monday through Saturday, while parking is free outside those hours (thesanantonioriverwalk.com). City-run parking garages are free, providing an official option for drivers who prefer a garage to a meter (thesanantonioriverwalk.com).

## Parksy Spaces Within 293 Yards of the Boarding Point

The closest listed option is secure garage parking in downtown San Antonio, 134 yd away, priced at $17 an hour. Covered parking in San Antonio is 182 yd away at $25 a day, while a covered parking garage at 421 W. Market St. is also 182 yd away and costs $25 an hour.

## Downtown Garages, Lots and Free City Parking Near the River Walk

Go Rio identifies downtown parking garages, parking lots, and metered parking as the main choices around the River Walk (goriocruises.com). Parking.com names Commerce Garage at 849 E Commerce St. and Bowie Lot at 241 Bowie St. as nearby options for river tour visitors (parking.com).

City-run parking garages are free under the San Antonio River Walk guidance, and metered parking is free outside the stated enforcement period (thesanantonioriverwalk.com). The city source also says meters are generally enforced from 8 AM to 6 PM, Monday through Saturday, so the free garage and off-hours meter rules can be useful for an evening boarding time.

## Meter Rules and Busy Downtown Boarding Periods

River Walk parking pressure is tied to the wider downtown activity around the boat boarding area. Go Rio advises visitors to plan ahead for navigating the River Walk, where garages, lots, and meters are spread throughout downtown (goriocruises.com).

Meter enforcement runs from 8 AM to 6 PM, Monday through Saturday, and parking is free outside those hours (thesanantonioriverwalk.com). City-run garages are also free under the River Walk guidance (thesanantonioriverwalk.com). Drivers using surrounding downtown streets should allow time to reach the river level after parking, particularly when several River Walk activities are being combined into one visit.

## Walking From San Antonio Station to the Boarding Point

San Antonio Station is the nearest rail station listed for the site. It is 0.8 mi away, with a 17 min walk to 104 North Saint Mary's Street.

The attraction sits in San Antonio, Texas, and the station approach provides a practical alternative when downtown parking is busy. The River Walk operator lists three ticket and boarding locations at various positions along the River Walk, so passengers should allow for the walk from the street to the relevant boarding point (sanantonioriverwalk.com).
