Facility Overview
The Diamond Parking Services lot situated at 210 E 400 S (Westbound) provides practical, accessible self-parking right in the vibrant core of downtown Salt Lake City. This open-air surface lot offers a clean, paved, and clearly striped parking environment designed for swift entry and exit. Because this facility is an outdoor surface lot without overhead beams or low garage clearances, it offers virtually unrestricted vertical clearance. This makes it an outstanding choice not only for standard sedans, compact cars, and crossovers, but also for lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, commercial service vans, and rooftop cargo carriers that typically exceed low municipal parking garage height limits.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Situated along the dynamic 400 South corridor (University Boulevard), this parking facility places drivers within comfortable walking distance of key civic landmarks, cultural institutions, and downtown dining hubs:
- Salt Lake City Public Library & Library Square: Located directly across the street (a 1 to 2-minute walk), ideal for library patrons, community events, and architectural sightseers.
- The Leonardo Museum: Just across 400 South at Library Square (3-minute walk), hosting interactive science, technology, and art exhibitions.
- Salt Lake City & County Building / Washington Square Park: Approximately 1 block southwest (2 to 3-minute walk), home to municipal offices and frequent weekend cultural festivals.
- The Gallivan Center: Located 3 blocks northwest (roughly an 8-minute walk), hosting year-round outdoor concerts, ice skating, food truck events, and festivals.
- Downtown Salt Lake Dining & Nightlife: Easy strolling distance to popular eateries, breweries, and cafes along 400 South, 200 East, and State Street.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
The lot is conveniently accessed directly from the westbound lanes of East 400 South, a primary multi-lane east-west arterial in Salt Lake City. Drivers arriving from Interstate 15 can take the 600 South exit and connect smoothly onto State Street or 200 East before heading north toward 400 South. After events or work hours, exiting westbound allows for convenient dispersal toward Main Street, West Temple, and freeway on-ramps. Additionally, transit connectivity is unmatched: the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) TRAX Red Line runs down the median of 400 South, with the Library Station located virtually across the street, allowing parkers to leave their vehicles and seamlessly transit to the University of Utah campus or transfer throughout the Salt Lake Valley.

Visitor & Driver Tips
When approaching the lot, stay in the right lane while traveling westbound on 400 South to avoid missing the lot entrance apron immediately following the 300 East intersection. Be mindful of TRAX trains traveling along the center median when making turns in the vicinity. During major civic gatherings, pride parades, or public festivals at Washington Square and Library Square, this lot fills rapidly, so arriving early is strongly recommended. Make sure to note your license plate number before stepping away, as Diamond Parking operates via pay-by-plate enforcement to ensure a quick and ticketless checkout.
