About this Location

Facility Overview

The 324 South State Garage is a centrally situated, multi-level covered parking structure located in the heart of Downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. Positioned directly along South State Street between 300 South (Broadway) and 400 South, this facility provides dependable, weather-protected vehicle storage for daily commuters, business travelers, theatergoers, and downtown shoppers. The garage features clearly delineated driving aisles, structured concrete ramps, and well-marked bays suitable for standard sedans, compact crossovers, and standard mid-size SUVs.
