Facility Overview
170 South Main Parking, situated at 32 W 200 S in the vibrant core of Downtown Salt Lake City, provides an exceptionally convenient, secure, and modern parking solution for professionals, theatergoers, and city visitors. This covered multi-level garage structure directly serves the prominent commercial tower at 170 South Main while welcoming transient public parkers.

Visitor & Driver Tips
During marquee Broadway opening nights at the Eccles Theater or major conventions at the Salt Palace, traffic along 200 South can back up shortly before curtain calls. Arriving 30 to 45 minutes ahead of your event ensures ample time to find a preferred stall and validate or pre-pay your ticket. If traveling during peak commuter hours (4:30 PM to 6:00 PM), consider turning south toward 400 South or west toward West Temple to avoid Main Street pedestrian congestion. Remember your stall floor level or snap a quick smartphone photo of the nearest elevator bay for a seamless return at the end of the evening.
