Facility Overview
57 E 200 S Parking offers convenient, prime downtown parking in the bustling core of Salt Lake City, Utah. Situated on East 200 South between South Main Street and South State Street, this open-air surface lot provides swift, drive-up parking without the narrow turns or low ceilings of subterranean decks. Because the facility is an outdoor, uncovered lot, there are no restrictive vertical clearance limits, making it exceptionally well-suited for high-roof utility vans, lifted pickup trucks, SUVs with ski or cargo boxes, and full-size passenger vehicles. Clear bay striping, wide navigational aisles, and easy single-level circulation ensure a seamless parking experience for both commuters and evening eventgoers.

Visitor & Driver Tips
During major touring Broadway productions at Eccles Theater or headlining concerts at Gallivan Center, spaces in this central block can fill rapidly; aim to arrive 30 to 45 minutes prior to curtain call to secure a stall.
