About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Downtown Salt Lake City, the 218 W 300 S Parking facility offers a centrally located, open-air surface parking solution tailored to urban drivers, commuters, and event attendees. Positioned along West 300 South (widely known locally as Broadway), this flat asphalt lot provides an easy self-park experience with clearly marked stalls and uncomplicated drive aisles. Because it is an open outdoor facility with no overhead decks or multi-level ramps, there are virtually no vertical height restrictions. This open headroom configuration makes it an exceptional choice not only for standard sedans and compact cars, but also for full-size pickup trucks, lifted SUVs, vehicles equipped with roof racks, and taller commercial or passenger vans that frequently struggle with clearance in downtown parking garages.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because Broadway experiences heightened foot and vehicle traffic during weekend evenings and major basketball games, drivers are encouraged to arrive 30 to 45 minutes prior to ticketed events to secure a prime stall. Keep your license plate number handy when utilizing the mobile payment system, as parking rights are verified electronically by vehicle registration. When navigating to the lot, look for the visible street-level entrance signage between 200 West and 300 West to smoothly transition into the bay without missing the turn.
