About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in a pleasant residential and civic corridor of Woods Cross, Utah, the 790 W 1500 S Parking facility serves as an expansive, open-air surface lot adjoining the local meetinghouse campus of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (often locally referenced as the Apple Chapel). Designed with a clean, perimeter-to-center asphalt layout, the lot provides level, unobstructed ground-level parking with clearly demarcated directional lanes and generous stall widths. Because it is completely open to the sky with no multi-level parking deck or overhead structures, there are zero vertical clearance limitations. This makes the property completely accessible for all vehicle profiles, including high-roof passenger vans, lifted 4x4 pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, handicap-adapted accessible vans, and commercial service vehicles that would otherwise encounter height restrictions in downtown parking garages.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

The facility is located directly in the heart of south Davis County, nestled between quiet residential avenues and prominent civic parks. It boasts an unbeatable position directly adjacent to Hogan Park (750 W 1500 S), which sits merely a 1-to-2-minute walk away and features extensive public sports diamonds, children's play areas, open lawn areas, and shaded picnic pavilions. A short 3-minute drive (less than 1 mile) southeast leads to Mills Park, home to city recreation amenities, seasonal community gatherings, and tennis courts. Regional destinations and retail centers along 500 West and Bountiful’s historic Main Street are less than 5 to 7 minutes away by car, while downtown Salt Lake City attractions—including Delta Center, Temple Square, and the Salt Palace Convention Center—are reachable via a direct 12-to-15-minute drive south along Interstate 15.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Driver ingress and egress are exceptionally smooth, with multiple wide-aperture curb cuts leading directly onto West 1500 South. This dual-access design prevents bottlenecking and ensures steady vehicular turnaround before and after large religious services, civic events, or community athletic leagues held at Hogan Park. Commuters and travelers also enjoy superior transit connectivity: the Woods Cross Utah Transit Authority (UTA) FrontRunner commuter rail station is located approximately one mile to the south, offering high-speed rail connections north to Ogden and south through Salt Lake City down to Provo. Major highway arteries are quickly accessible, with on-ramps to Interstate 15 (I-15) and the Legacy Parkway (State Route 67) both located within 3 to 5 minutes of driving.

Visitor & Driver Tips

The lot experiences its highest occupancy on Sunday mornings and early afternoons (typically between 8:30 AM and 2:00 PM) when regional worship services take place in rotation. If visiting Hogan Park during peak weekend daytime hours, parking along the eastern edge of the lot provides the closest pedestrian path to the park's ball diamonds and pavilions. During winter months, exercise standard caution after heavy Utah snowfall until municipal and grounds maintenance teams complete snow plowing and salt application. Commercial vehicle overnight staging or unattended long-term storage is restricted without explicit community permission.
