Facility Overview
558 Swede Alley Parking offers prime, open-air surface parking nestled in the historic core of Park City, Utah. Situated on Swede Alley directly parallel to iconic Historic Main Street, this location provides direct and seamless access to Old Town’s celebrated dining, entertainment, and shopping corridor. Because it operates as an outdoor surface lot, this location has no vertical height clearance restrictions, making it an ideal staging point for full-size SUVs, extended-cab pickup trucks, roof-box-equipped ski rigs, and passenger vans that might otherwise struggle to clear nearby parking garages.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
The facility serves as an unbeatable jumping-off point for exploring historic downtown Park City. Located just steps from the pedestrian staircases and passages connecting Swede Alley to Main Street, visitors can walk to high-profile destinations within minutes:
- Historic Main Street: Under a 2-minute walk (150 feet) via pedestrian cut-throughs to Park City’s premier art galleries, upscale boutiques, and world-class restaurants.

Visitor & Driver Tips
