About this Location

Facility Overview

The Daybreak Parkway Park and Ride facility serves as the western terminus anchor for the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) TRAX Red Line in South Jordan, Utah. Located along Duckhorn Drive and South Grandville Avenue within the master-planned Daybreak community, this facility consists of an expansive, open-air surface parking lot designed to accommodate hundreds of daily commuters, patients, and local visitors. Because the entire lot is situated at grade with wide driving aisles and open skies, there are no overhead clearance limitations or height restrictions, making it exceptionally accommodating for full-size pickup trucks, large SUVs, conversion vans, and passenger vehicles equipped with ski racks or rooftop cargo boxes.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Situated in the heart of South Jordan’s thriving southwest corridor, this parking facility offers immediate walking access to essential civic and medical amenities, as well as rapid transit connections across the Wasatch Front:

University of Utah Health South Jordan Health Center: Located directly adjacent to the parking area, providing medical clinics, outpatient surgical facilities, and pharmacy services within a 2- to 3-minute walk.
Salt Lake County Library – Daybreak Branch: Situated just south of the train platform across the street, offering public workspaces, study areas, and community event programming within a 3-minute walk.
Oquirrh Lake & Daybreak Trails: Approximately a 10- to 15-minute walk (under 1 mile) east, giving outdoor enthusiasts easy access to walking paths, kayak launch points, and lakeside parks.
The Ballpark at America First Square: Located just one light rail stop north at the South Jordan Downtown Station, making this lot a premier park-and-ride choice for Salt Lake Bees baseball games, seasonal concerts, and Downtown Daybreak dining hubs.
Direct Wasatch Front Rail Corridor: By boarding the Red Line directly at the lot, passengers can ride comfortably to the Salt Palace Convention Center, Delta Center, and the University of Utah (including Rice-Eccles Stadium and the University Medical Center) without driving through downtown gridlock.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress and egress are straightforward and unhurried. Vehicles can access the facility smoothly via West Daybreak Parkway, South Grandville Avenue, and Duckhorn Drive. The facility is strategically positioned less than half a mile from the Mountain View Corridor (State Route 85) interchange, granting swift north-south highway access to Herriman, Riverton, West Jordan, and the Salt Lake City airport corridor. On-site, passengers step straight off the surface stalls and onto the Daybreak Parkway TRAX light rail platform. Additionally, the location is served by UTA bus routes (such as Route 126) and UTA On Demand microtransit service zones.

Visitor & Driver Tips

This park-and-ride facility is designated primarily for day-use transit customers. While daily parking is free, vehicles left unattended for more than 24 consecutive hours may be subject to monitoring or ticketing unless pre-coordinated with UTA customer services. During major metropolitan events or opening days at the ballpark, arrive 20 to 30 minutes ahead of scheduled train departures to easily secure a stall near the main boarding platform. If entering from the Mountain View Corridor, turn east onto West Daybreak Parkway, then turn into Grandville Avenue or Duckhorn Drive to reach the primary entrance.
