About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Downtown Salt Lake City, the 136 E Social Hall Ave Parking facility provides convenient, high-capacity vehicle parking within one of the city\'s most vibrant commercial and cultural corridors. Located along historic Social Hall Avenue between State Street and 200 East, this parking garage offers a clean, well-lit, and sheltered environment designed to handle everyday downtown traffic. With wide turning lanes, clear signage, and clearly delineated bays, the garage accommodates standard passenger sedans, crossovers, and full-size SUVs. Drivers of tall commercial vans or lifted pickup trucks should observe the posted entrance clearance height (typically around 6 feet 8 inches to 7 feet), while standard personal vehicles enjoy generous headroom and easy maneuverability across all parking decks.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When attending high-profile events at Eccles Theater or during holiday shopping seasons at City Creek, plan to arrive 20 to 30 minutes early to secure preferred spaces on the lower levels. Keep your parking ticket or digital validation handy; many surrounding dining establishments and local businesses offer partial parking validations. If driving a vehicle fitted with a ski rack, cargo box, or aftermarket suspension lift, confirm your clearance against the overhead entrance bar before entering. Finally, entering Social Hall Avenue from 200 East often provides the smoothest flow during peak weekday rush hours.
