About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the bustling southern corridor of Downtown Salt Lake City, the ABM Parking facility at 730 S State St (also recognized as the 754 South State Street Lot) offers a straightforward, open-air surface parking experience managed by ABM Parking Services. Positioned directly along one of Salt Lake City’s primary north-south arteries between 700 South and 800 South, this lot provides an accessible parking solution for both short-term neighborhood visitors and long-term daily parkers. Because it is an open surface lot without low-hanging ceiling beams, overhangs, or overhead clearance barriers, the facility accommodates virtually all vehicle classes, ranging from compact sedans and standard passenger cars to full-size pickup trucks, commercial service vans, and oversized SUVs with roof accessories or cargo racks.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

The facility is strategically positioned on the border of Downtown Salt Lake City and the vibrant Central City and Granary districts, placing drivers in close proximity to popular local dining, cultural landmarks, and business destinations. Key attractions within walking distance or a brief drive include:

Washington Square & Salt Lake City and County Building: Approximately 0.6 miles north (a 10- to 12-minute walk), home to city offices, peaceful civic lawns, and seasonal outdoor community gatherings.
Salt Lake City Public Library & The Leonardo: Roughly 0.7 miles north, offering acclaimed architectural spaces, interactive science exhibits, and cultural showcases.
Local Dining & Brewpub Hub: Steps from neighborhood dining options, eclectic cafes, and nearby Granary District hotspots such as T.F. Brewing, Fisher Brewing Company, and artisanal eateries along 700 and 800 South.
Downtown Entertainment & Arenas: Located just over 1 mile southeast of the Salt Palace Convention Center, Capitol Theatre, Eccles Theater, and Delta Center, making it a viable, cost-effective park-and-rideshare hub during major Utah Jazz games and high-capacity downtown concerts.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress and egress are straightforward via a dedicated curb-cut entry/exit situated directly off State Street. Drivers should note that due to the median and lane configuration along this arterial roadway, the lot is designed for southbound approach on State Street between 700 South and 800 South. Exiting vehicles merge directly back onto State Street, with quick connections to major thoroughfares like 800 South and 900 South. Highway connectivity is exceptionally convenient, with fast access to Interstate 15 (I-15) and Interstate 80 (I-80) via the 600 South and 900 South on-ramps. Public transit riders can easily connect to UTA Route 200 bus lines running along State Street, or walk several blocks to the UTA TRAX light rail stations at Courthouse Station or 900 South Station to reach the University of Utah, the airport, or Salt Lake's downtown commercial core.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a seamless visit, plan your route to approach from the north traveling southbound on State Street, as making an immediate left across oncoming traffic during peak hours is restricted. Always remember to enter your vehicle’s exact license plate details into the pay-by-phone platform immediately upon pulling into an unreserved stall, as parking compliance is monitored electronically via license plate recognition. While standard daily and hourly rates are very affordable compared to downtown garages further north, event or weekend surge pricing may apply during major citywide festivals. Booking your space in advance via supported parking apps guarantees a confirmed stall before you arrive.
