About this Location

Facility Overview

The 231 E 100 S Parking lot is a conveniently situated open-air surface parking facility positioned in the vibrant heart of Downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. Located on the south side of 100 South (1st South) between 200 East and 300 East, this parking lot provides an accessible and straightforward parking option for visitors, professionals, and eventgoers navigating the bustling metropolitan core. Because it operates as a flat, unobstructed ground-level lot, it features zero height clearance restrictions, making it exceptionally accommodating for oversized vehicles, high-roof conversion vans, full-size pickup trucks, commercial service vehicles, and rooftop cargo carriers that routinely struggle with clearance in downtown multi-story parking garages.

Public transit integration is seamless, with multiple Utah Transit Authority (UTA) bus stops on 200 East and 100 South, as well as the UTA TRAX light rail stations (Courthouse and Gallivan Plaza) located just a few blocks away, providing swift connections to the University of Utah, Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC), and the wider Wasatch Front valley.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Salt Lake City\'s street addresses are based on a coordinate grid; keep in mind that 100 South runs east-west and numbers increase eastward from Main Street. During peak curtain times at the Eccles Theater or major weekend festivals at Washington Square, parking demand in this corridor spikes, so arriving 20 to 30 minutes before your scheduled reservation or curtain call is recommended. Always take note of your stall number or vehicle license plate before stepping away, as automated pay kiosks and mobile payment systems require plate verification upon parking. Avoid leaving any valuables or bags in plain sight inside your vehicle.
