About this Location

Facility Overview

The 36 E 700 S Parking facility is a conveniently positioned open-air surface lot situated on the south side of 700 South (7th South), positioned between South Main Street and South State Street in Salt Lake City. Situated at the crossroads of the bustling Downtown core, the trendy Central Ninth (C9) neighborhood, and the vibrant Granary District, this flat asphalt lot provides straightforward, drive-in self-parking. Because this is an open-air surface lot without an overhead garage deck, there are zero vertical clearance restrictions. This open layout makes it an outstanding parking option not only for standard sedans and compact cars, but also for lifted pickup trucks, full-sized SUVs, high-roof conversion vans, and vehicles equipped with ski racks, rooftop cargo boxes, or mountain bike mounts.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

This central location places visitors within convenient walking distance or a short transit hop to premier Salt Lake City destinations. Situated just blocks south of the prestigious Grand America Hotel and Little America Hotel, it offers an economical parking alternative for guests and event attendees. Food and craft beverage enthusiasts will appreciate being steps away from the eclectic dining scene along State Street and Main Street, as well as the bustling taprooms, roasteries, and creative studios throughout the adjacent Granary District and Central Ninth. The Salt Lake City Public Library, Washington Square Park, and the Leonardo Museum are located less than a 15-minute walk (under 0.8 miles) to the north, while Salt Palace Convention Center and Delta Center are easily reached in minutes via an effortless ride on the UTA TRAX light rail.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Drivers benefit from direct and straightforward ingress and egress via 700 South, a wide multi-lane east-west arterial that connects quickly to Interstate 15 and Interstate 80 via the 600 South and 900 South on-ramps. This smooth street connectivity allows motorists to bypass gridlock that often snarls the central downtown streets during peak office rush hours or post-concert surges. For public transit users, the location is exceptionally well-connected: the UTA TRAX light rail stations (including 900 South Station and Courthouse Station) are nearby, granting fast, direct access across the Red, Green, and Blue lines running through downtown, to the University of Utah, and out to Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC).

Visitor & Driver Tips

When entering the lot from 700 South, look for clearly posted parking signage and ensure you record your license plate number, as payment is commonly tracked digitally. Paying immediately upon parking via your mobile smartphone or the on-site kiosk is essential to avoid enforcement ticketing or booting. If you are heading north toward the Delta Center or Salt Palace for major sporting events or conventions, parking here and hopping on the nearby TRAX light rail can save substantial time and eliminate post-event traffic delays when returning to the highway.
