About this Location

Facility Overview

The 5651 W Old Bingham Hwy Parking facility is a spacious, open-air surface parking lot situated in the southwestern quadrant of West Jordan, Utah. Located right along the historic Old Bingham Highway corridor and immediately adjacent to the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) light rail corridor, this facility functions primarily as a transit-oriented commuter and local access hub. Built at ground level without vertical overhead barriers, height restrictions, or low-clearance ceilings, the lot provides unobstructed open headroom, making it exceptionally convenient for standard sedans, family minivans, full-sized pickup trucks, high-roof conversion vans, and oversized SUVs equipped with rooftop cargo boxes or bike racks.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Strategically positioned near the crossroads of 5600 West and Old Bingham Highway, this facility serves as an essential jumping-off point for both neighborhood excursions and regional travel across the Salt Lake Valley. Key nearby destinations and attractions include:

UTA TRAX Red Line (5600 W Old Bingham Hwy Station): Just footsteps from the parking stalls, granting effortless rail access north toward Downtown Salt Lake City and the University of Utah, or south into South Jordan.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress and egress to the lot are simple and efficient, with direct driveway access off West Old Bingham Highway and easy connections to major north-south arterials such as 5600 West (SR-172) and the Mountain View Corridor (UT-85). Drivers arriving from the east can take 7800 South or 9000 South before linking directly into the neighborhood grid. Because the lot directly anchors the 5600 W Old Bingham Hwy TRAX Red Line station, commuters can park vehicle-free and bypass heavy freeway traffic along I-15, riding the light rail comfortably toward Valley Fair Mall, Central Pointe, Vivint Arena / Delta Center, and downtown business hubs.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Plan your departure according to UTA TRAX Red Line timetables to minimize wait times on the platform, especially during late-night hours and Sunday schedules when train frequencies are reduced. During winter months, exercise caution after heavy snowfall as the open-air layout is exposed to mountain freezing cycles before morning plowing and salting operations commence. As with all public transit and surface parking facilities, ensure your vehicle is locked with all personal belongings and valuables stowed out of sight.
