Facility Overview
Situated in the vibrant core of Downtown Salt Lake City at 339 S Main St, this downtown parking facility offers an exceptionally convenient stopping point for visitors, daily commuters, and event attendees. Configured primarily as a paved surface parking lot right off Main Street, the location features open-air bays with generous turning room. Because it is an open-sky facility with no low overhead clearance barriers, it accommodates a broad range of passenger vehicles including full-size pickup trucks (such as Ford F-150 and Ram 1500), lifted SUVs, and passenger vans that typically struggle with clearance restrictions in subterranean downtown garages.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
This central location places motorists within minutes of Salt Lake City\'s most iconic arts, cultural, and commercial destinations:
- The Gallivan Center: Located just one block northeast (a 2- to 3-minute walk), hosting concerts, winter ice skating, community gatherings, and food truck events.
- Eccles Theater & Capitol Theatre: Less than a 5-minute walk away, making it an ideal staging ground for Broadway shows, ballets, and live performing arts.
- Salt Palace Convention Center: Approximately a 7- to 9-minute walk west, providing hassle-free parking for trade show exhibitors and conference attendees looking to bypass high convention-center garage congestion.
- City Creek Center & Downtown Dining: A quick 5- to 8-minute stroll north connects visitors to world-class retail, premier restaurants, and lively bars along Main Street, 300 South (Broadway), and Exchange Place.
- Delta Center: Home of the Utah Jazz, situated roughly 0.8 miles away or accessible via a quick ride on the free-fare downtown TRAX light rail.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress and egress are straightforward via Main Street and adjacent mid-block connectors between 300 South (Broadway) and 400 South (University Boulevard). Motorists traveling from greater Salt Lake Valley benefit from rapid highway links via I-15 and I-80 exits at 400 South or 600 South. For public transit users, the facility is steps away from the Gallivan Plaza and Courthouse UTA TRAX light rail stations (servicing Blue, Green, and Red lines), placing drivers inside the designated Downtown Free Fare Zone.

Visitor & Driver Tips
During peak weekend theater performances or Gallivan Center festival dates, arrival 30 to 45 minutes prior to showtime is recommended to secure optimal spaces. Always note your stall number or license plate before walking to your destination, as downtown parking enforcement regularly validates tickets via license plate recognition (LPR). Take advantage of the UTA TRAX Downtown Free Fare Zone right outside to traverse the city center without moving your car.
