Facility Overview
Situated in the vibrant heart of Downtown Salt Lake City, the 29 W 100 S Parking facility provides accessible and dependable open-air surface parking for commuters, theatergoers, and shoppers. Located along 100 South between South Main Street and South West Temple, this prime urban lot features a streamlined drive-in layout with well-demarcated bays and ample drive aisles. Because it is an open-air surface facility without an overhead parking canopy or low ceiling clearances, it comfortably accommodates a wide spectrum of passenger vehicles. Standard sedans, full-size SUVs, extended-bed pickup trucks, and high-roof vans can easily park without the strict vertical height limits typical of underground and multi-level parking decks.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Drivers can enter and exit directly via 100 South, one of downtown Salt Lake City’s prominent east-west thoroughfares. The wide street grid allows for straightforward turning movements, though drivers should be mindful of pedestrian foot traffic during peak evening event times. For regional commuting, the lot connects quickly to State Street (US-89) and allows rapid access to Interstate 15 via 500 South or 600 South ramps. Public transportation connections are equally unmatched, with multiple Utah Transit Authority (UTA) TRAX light rail stations (including City Creek and Gallivan Plaza) located within a 3- to 5-minute walk, providing seamless connections to the Green, Blue, and Red lines across the Salt Lake Valley.
