Facility Overview

Situated in the vibrant core of Downtown Salt Lake City, the Ampco System Parking facility at 45 E Broadway (300 South) provides convenient, dependable vehicle parking right between Main Street and State Street. Managed historically under Ampco System Parking and ABM Parking Services, this central facility offers convenient access to the central commercial core and historic district. The parking area features straightforward layout lanes, well-delineated stalls, and uninhibited open-air surface parking, meaning vertical clearance concerns and low ceiling restrictions are virtually non-existent.

This Broadway address puts drivers within immediate walking distance of Salt Lake City’s premier dining, business, and cultural centers.

Performing arts enthusiasts will appreciate the short two-block stroll to both the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Theater and the historic Janet Quinney Lawson Capitol Theatre. Shopping and culinary destinations abound, with the sprawling City Creek Center, historic Exchange Place, and Main Street’s eclectic mix of cocktail bars, craft breweries, and fine dining all reachable within 3 to 7 minutes on foot. Furthermore, convention attendees heading to the Salt Palace Convention Center or sports fans en route to the Delta Center can easily access these venues via a quick 10-to-15-minute walk or a brief ride on the light rail.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress and egress are situated along East Broadway (300 South), one of Salt Lake City\'s primary east-west downtown arteries, allowing swift arrivals from either State Street (US-89) or Main Street. Downtown Salt Lake City\'s expansive street grid system minimizes gridlock compared to other major metropolitan hubs, though Broadway experiences brisk pedestrian and vehicular movement during evening theater curtains and civic events. Public transit connectivity is exceptional: the UTA TRAX Gallivan Plaza Station is situated less than a block away, serving the Blue, Red, and Green light rail lines with direct links to the Salt Lake City International Airport, the University of Utah, and the surrounding Salt Lake Valley. Drivers traveling via regional freeways enjoy quick access to Interstate 15 and Interstate 80 via 500 South or 600 South ramps.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When planning your trip to 45 E Broadway, note that Broadway (300 South) features dedicated bicycle lanes and brisk crosswalk pedestrian flow; take extra care when turning into and out of the entrance driveway. During major weekend events or high-profile Broadway touring shows at the Eccles Theater, spaces can fill up rapidly—aim to arrive 30 to 45 minutes prior to showtime to secure a convenient stall. Always double-check your vehicle\'s license plate number when entering information into the digital pay machine or mobile parking app to avoid citation notices, and retain your electronic receipt for peace of mind.
