About this Location

Facility Overview

44 S 300 E Parking is an accessible open-air surface parking lot conveniently situated on 300 East in the vibrant Central City and East Downtown district of Salt Lake City, Utah. Positioned midway between East South Temple and 100 South, this lot offers an easy, direct parking solution for drivers seeking to avoid the congestion and tight clearance of subterranean multi-story garages. Because it is an unobstructed outdoor surface facility, it features unlimited vertical clearance, making it exceptionally well-suited for high-profile vehicles including full-size pickup trucks, commercial transit vans, SUVs equipped with rooftop carriers, and specialized passenger vans.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When arriving, be sure to note your license plate number before walking toward the payment kiosk or setting up payment via the designated mobile parking app. While 300 East provides a calmer approach than primary arterials, allow an extra 10 to 15 minutes during peak weekday morning commute hours or on evenings when high-profile productions take place at downtown theaters. For the smoothest arrival, approach the lot heading south on 300 East directly off South Temple Street.
