Facility Overview
The AirGarage Public Parking lot situated at 445 W 100 S provides seamless, dependable open-air surface parking in the heart of Salt Lake City\'s bustling downtown entertainment and transit corridor. Positioned directly adjacent to The Gateway and mere blocks from key sporting and cultural hubs, this open-air parking facility features a straightforward, flat layout with clear bay markings and wide maneuvering lanes. Because the lot is completely open to the sky with no low ceilings or overhead clearance bars, it easily accommodates high-profile passenger vehicles, full-size pickup trucks, commercial vans, and vehicles outfitted with rooftop ski racks or gear boxes, alongside standard sedans and compact cars.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
This car park is strategically positioned for visitors attending premier events, arts, and shopping destinations throughout Salt Lake City:
- Delta Center (Home of the Utah Jazz): Located less than a 5-minute walk (roughly two blocks northeast), making this lot one of the most accessible and hassle-free choices for NBA games, touring concerts, and arena shows.
- The Gateway: Situated right next door, granting instant pedestrian access to Clark Planetarium, Discovery Gateway Children\'s Museum, Megaplex Theatres, boutique retail shops, and prominent dining terraces.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Accessing the parking facility is effortless via West 100 South, positioned smoothly between 400 West and 500 West. The surface layout allows for swift ingress upon arrival and avoids the bottleneck delays common in multi-tiered parking garages following high-profile arena events. Drivers enjoy immediate connectivity to major thoroughfares, including quick access to Interstate 15 and Interstate 80 via 400 South or 600 South ramps. For transit riders, the lot is situated close to the UTA TRAX light rail (Old GreekTown and Planetarium stations on the Blue Line) and is within walking distance of Salt Lake Central Station for FrontRunner commuter rail connections.

Visitor & Driver Tips
During sold-out Delta Center games or prominent concerts, local streets can experience localized congestion, so arriving 30 to 45 minutes ahead of puck drop or tip-off is strongly recommended. Make sure to note your license plate number upon parking, as AirGarage relies on license plate validation for seamless enforcement. Follow the clearly posted signage near the entrance to scan the QR code and initiate your session promptly to prevent ticketing or towing.
