About this Location

Facility Overview

The Metropolis parking facility at 150 W 500 S provides convenient, accessible open-air surface parking in the heart of Downtown Salt Lake City. Situated along West 500 South (César E. Chávez Boulevard), this modern surface lot is powered by Metropolis’s automated drive-in computer vision technology, enabling seamless, ticketless ingress and egress without queues or physical barriers. Because this is an uncovered surface facility without height barriers or overhead clearance restrictions, it comfortably accommodates a wide spectrum of vehicles, including standard sedans, compact cars, full-size pickup trucks, large SUVs, and high-profile passenger vans.
