Facility Overview
Situated in the heart of Downtown Salt Lake City, 133 East is a conveniently positioned downtown parking facility located at 133 E 200 S, between South State Street and South 200 East. This open-air surface lot offers smooth drive-in access, clear sightlines, and generous bay spacing designed to accommodate a diverse spectrum of passenger vehicles. Because it operates without covered ceilings or garage deck structures, it has zero vertical height clearance restrictions, making it an outstanding choice for oversized vehicles, lifted 4x4 trucks, full-size SUVs, and commercial high-roof cargo or passenger vans that cannot fit into standard downtown underground parking garages.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
The facility puts visitors steps away from some of Salt Lake City’s premier cultural, shopping, and entertainment destinations. Key nearby attractions include:
- The Gallivan Center: A premier downtown hub for festivals, food truck events, concerts, and winter ice skating, located just a 3-minute stroll (0.1 miles) away.
- George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Theater: Renowned for hosting Broadway tours and world-class theatrical performances, located roughly a 4-minute walk (0.2 miles) to the northwest.
- Capitol Theatre: Historic performing arts venue hosting Ballet West and the Utah Opera, accessible within a 6-minute walk (0.3 miles) west along 200 South.
- City Creek Center: An open-air, upscale retail shopping mall featuring high-end brands, dining, and a retractable glass roof, situated only 5 to 7 minutes away on foot.
- Salt Palace Convention Center: Host of global expos, trade shows, and conferences, located approximately an 8- to 10-minute walk (0.5 miles) to the west.
- Downtown Nightlife & Dining: Surrounded by popular bars and eateries on 200 South, including Beer Bar, Bar X, Copper Onion, and Whiskey Street.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Drivers can access the lot directly from East 200 South, a primary east-west artery through downtown SLC. Exiting the facility offers straightforward connectivity to State Street (US-89), 400 South, and direct freeway connections to Interstate 15 and Interstate 80 via 500 South or 600 South ramps. For transit riders, the facility is located within the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) Free Fare Zone. The Gallivan Plaza TRAX Light Rail Station (serviced by both Blue and Green lines) is only two blocks away on Main Street, allowing effortless transit across the Wasatch Front and direct rail access to Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC).

Visitor & Driver Tips
Because East 200 South experiences steady traffic during morning and evening rush hours, plan an extra few minutes when arriving during peak business intervals. When attending marquee weekend events or opening nights at the Eccles Theater, spaces can fill rapidly; aiming to arrive 30 to 45 minutes ahead of curtain time ensures an easy parking experience. Always verify your vehicle license plate number when paying at the kiosk or on mobile payment apps to ensure your session is active and avoid parking citations.
