About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Salt Lake City\'s vibrant Central City corridor, 131 East 700 South Parking offers a well-positioned, open-air surface parking solution for local visitors, commuters, and eventgoers. Positioned directly along 700 South between State Street and 200 East, this surface facility provides an open layout that ensures smooth maneuvering and quick parking. Because it is an open-air lot with no covered overhangs or garage ceilings, it boasts unlimited vertical clearance. This makes the facility exceptionally well-suited for all classes of passenger vehicles, including lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, commercial work trucks, and high-roof conversion vans that frequently exceed standard parking garage height limits.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

This parking location serves as an excellent gateway to both downtown Salt Lake City and the eclectic Central 9th and Ballpark neighborhoods. Drivers parking here will enjoy convenient walking and transit access to several major destinations:

Downtown Hospitality & Dining: A brief 10 to 12-minute walk takes you to The Grand America Hotel and Little America Hotel, along with numerous restaurants, coffee shops, and local diners along State Street and Main Street.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Drivers can access the parking lot directly from 700 South (a major east-west urban connector). The roadway provides straightforward ingress and egress, allowing motorists to steer clear of the congested central core during major downtown rush hours. Commuters have swift access to Interstate 15 via the 600 South and 900 South freeway on-ramps, ensuring an effortless departure out of the city center. For public transit users, the UTA TRAX light rail (servicing the Red, Blue, and Green lines) is accessible via the nearby Courthouse or 900 South stations, connecting passengers across the Salt Lake Valley and directly to Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC).

To ensure a seamless parking experience, check posted signage on arrival to confirm your stall number and submit payment promptly via your mobile device to avoid ticketing.
