Facility Overview
The North Temple (Mountain Lot) - Economy facility, situated at 2200 North Temple in Salt Lake City, Utah, provides an expansive, cost-effective open-air surface parking solution in the bustling western transportation corridor of the city. Ideally positioned between downtown Salt Lake City and Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC), this well-maintained lot caters to air travelers, daily regional commuters, and event attendees. As an uncovered outdoor ground lot, it features generous turn radii, open-sky headroom, and zero vertical clearance restrictions, making it exceptionally accommodating for oversized vehicles, full-size pickup trucks, commercial transit vans, rooftop-box SUVs, and light utility trucks that cannot access low-clearance downtown parking decks.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Positioned along the vibrant North Temple arterial route, this facility delivers exceptional proximity to major transportation, convention, and sporting destinations. It is situated just minutes east of Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC), serving as an optimal budget-friendly park-and-ride staging area. Commuters and eventgoers can easily access the Utah State Fairpark (approx. 5 minutes east), which hosts agricultural exhibitions, festivals, and the Days of \'47 Rodeo. Furthermore, downtown entertainment destinations—such as the Delta Center (home of the Utah Jazz and NHL hockey), the Salt Palace Convention Center, Abravanel Hall, The Gateway open-air shopping complex, and historic Temple Square—are easily reached via a 7 to 10-minute drive or direct transit link.

Access to and from the North Temple Mountain Lot is seamless. Vehicles enter and exit via curb cuts along North Temple, offering straightforward ingress from both eastbound and westbound lanes. Motorists benefit from immediate connectivity to Interstate 80 (I-80) via the 5600 West or Redwood Road connectors, and quick interchange access to Interstate 215 (I-215 / Belt Route) and Interstate 15 (I-15).
