About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the bustling southern corridor of Salt Lake City\'s urban center, 60 800 S Parking provides convenient, accessible open-air surface parking at 60 800 S. Positioned strategically between Main Street and State Street, this surface facility features an expansive, flat layout designed for effortless maneuvering and quick turnarounds. Because this lot is an open-air facility without low-hanging garage decks or restrictive overhead beams, it offers virtually unlimited vertical clearance. This makes it an outstanding parking option for standard passenger vehicles, full-size pickup trucks, oversized SUVs, commercial vans, and roof-rack-equipped vehicles that cannot comfortably navigate traditional downtown parking garages.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

The facility is ideally placed at the intersection of downtown Salt Lake City, the trendsetting Granary District, and the vibrant Central Ninth neighborhood. Within a short walk or quick light rail ride, visitors can access a diverse array of urban attractions:

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Drivers benefit from straightforward street access directly off 800 South (University Boulevard), which connects smoothly with State Street (US-89) and South Main Street. Its location outside the tightest downtown bottlenecks allows for rapid ingress and egress during peak rush-hour windows and after regional events. For regional transit riders, the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) TRAX light rail system is conveniently nearby, with the 900 South TRAX Station located just a few blocks south and the Courthouse and 600 South stations to the north, serving the Red, Blue, and Green lines. Access to Interstate 15 and Interstate 80 via 600 South or 900 South on-ramps is less than a five-minute drive away, ensuring smooth departures toward Salt Lake City International Airport and surrounding valleys.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When navigating to the lot, enter directly from 800 South between Main Street and State Street. Peak congestion typically aligns with morning and evening commute hours along 800 South, so arriving slightly ahead of scheduled meetings or dinner reservations will ensure smooth parking. Ensure you have your mobile device ready to complete your parking session via the posted pay-by-plate QR codes or mobile payment app signage immediately after pulling into your stall. If attending major arena events or festivals further north in the downtown core, consider parking here and taking the nearby TRAX light rail northward to bypass heavy downtown post-event exit traffic.
