Facility Overview
Situated in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City at 123 E 200 S, this Diamond Parking Services location provides convenient open-air surface parking for commuters, theatergoers, shoppers, and visitors. The flat, asphalt-paved lot features straightforward drive-aisles and generous perimeter spacing, allowing for smooth vehicle maneuvering. Because it operates as an uncovered surface lot, there are no restrictive height clearance bars or overhead ceiling obstructions, making it exceptionally well-suited for high-profile vehicles such as lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, conversion vans, and passenger vehicles equipped with ski, snowboard, or bicycle roof racks.

Visitor & Driver Tips
When attending high-profile events or weekend performances at the Eccles Theater, downtown parking spaces fill up rapidly; aim to arrive 30 to 45 minutes prior to showtime to secure your spot smoothly. Keep your license plate number handy when paying, as Diamond Parking operates primarily on a Pay-by-Plate or mobile transaction system. During winter months, exercise caution after fresh snowfall as open-air lots can experience patches of ice before clearing.
