Facility Overview
The Fashion Place parking facility at 6395 S Cottonwood Street serves as a primary access point for one of the premier shopping and dining destinations in the Salt Lake Valley. Located in Murray, Utah, this sprawling open-air surface parking complex offers expansive, ground-level parking surrounding the Fashion Place retail center. Because it is an unobstructed outdoor surface lot, it provides virtually unlimited vertical clearance, making it exceptionally well-suited for all standard passenger sedans, oversized pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, minivans, and high-roof commercial vans that often face height restrictions in downtown multi-level parking garages.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Situated in the heart of Murray, this parking facility places visitors steps away from top-tier shopping, entertainment, and culinary offerings. Key destinations within immediate walking distance or a short radius include:
- Fashion Place Mall: Direct access to premier retailers such as Nordstrom, Dillard\'s, Macy\'s, Apple, Crate & Barrel, and Zara (under 1–3 minutes on foot).
- Dining & Restaurants: Steps from popular eateries including The Cheesecake Factory, Red Rock Junction, Brio Italian Grille, and localized fast-casual dining options.
- Intermountain Medical Center (IMC): Utah\'s largest healthcare campus is located just 1.5 miles to the north (5 minutes by car or direct bus ride).
- Murray Park & Amphitheater: A scenic public recreation area located approximately 2 miles northeast, hosting summer concerts, community theater, and sports fields.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Accessing the parking area is straightforward thanks to its proximity to major Salt Lake Valley arterial roads and freeway junctions. Drivers can easily enter via Cottonwood Street, Winchester Street (6400 South), or directly from South State Street. The facility sits immediately adjacent to Interstate 15 (Exit 298 for 5300 South or Exit 297 for 7200 South) and the I-215 beltway, allowing rapid regional connections to downtown Salt Lake City, Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC), and the southern Utah County tech corridor.
For public transit users, the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) Fashion Place West TRAX Light Rail Station (servicing the Red and Blue lines) is located roughly half a mile to the west along Winchester Street, offering convenient rail transit throughout Salt Lake County.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Parking throughout the Fashion Place surface lots is free of charge, with spaces readily available on standard weekdays. However, during peak holiday shopping periods (Black Friday through late December) and weekend afternoons, spaces closest to primary entrances fill up rapidly. For the quickest in-and-out experience during busy shopping hours, drivers are advised to park in the perimeter stalls along Cottonwood Street or near the outer ring road, where open spaces are consistently available and exiting back onto city streets is fastest. Overnight parking and unauthorized long-term camping are prohibited by private property security.
