About this Location

Facility Overview

The Market Street Lot is a conveniently situated open-air surface parking lot located at 60 W Market St in the vibrant heart of Downtown Salt Lake City. Situated along Market Street between South West Temple and Main Street, this parking area offers simple drive-up access and efficient self-parking in an active commercial and entertainment corridor. Because it is an unobstructed open-air lot, there are no restrictive ceiling beams or low overhead clearance limits, making it exceptionally well-suited for high-profile vehicles including full-size pickup trucks, oversized SUVs, passenger vans, and vehicles equipped with roof racks or cargo carriers, in addition to standard passenger sedans and compacts.

Drivers are encouraged to arrive 20 to 30 minutes ahead of scheduled curtain times or dinner reservations. Be sure to note your license plate number upon parking, as automated payment machines and mobile parking apps require accurate plate entry to validate parking sessions.
