About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Downtown Salt Lake City, the 116 W 400 S Parking facility offers a centrally located, open-air surface parking solution tailored to urban explorers, daily commuters, and eventgoers. Positioned along 400 South (also known as University Boulevard), this spacious, uncovered lot is paved, striped, and designed for easy vehicle circulation. Because it operates as an outdoor ground-level lot without low clearance ceilings or overhead beams, it provides unlimited vertical clearance. This makes it an ideal parking destination not only for standard sedans, compacts, and crossovers, but also for full-size pickup trucks, commercial vans, rooftop-rack-equipped SUVs, and taller recreational utility vehicles that often struggle with subterranean or multi-story parking structures.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When planning to park at 116 W 400 S, keep these helpful tips in mind:

Check Event Schedules: During Utah Jazz home games, major Delta Center concerts, or large conventions at the Salt Palace, spaces fill up fast; plan to arrive 30 to 45 minutes early.
Have Your License Plate Ready: The lot operates on a pay-by-plate system. Take a quick photo of your vehicle registration tag before walking to the payment kiosk or loading the mobile payment portal.
Watch the UTA TRAX Tracks: 400 South is an active light rail corridor; always observe left-turn signals and stay aware of train crossings when entering and exiting the parking area.
Keep Belongings Out of Sight: As with any downtown parking facility, practice safe parking habits by rolling up windows, locking your vehicle, and stowing valuables in the trunk.
