Facility Overview
The North Temple Surface Lot is a conveniently situated open-air parking facility located at 112 N 400 W in downtown Salt Lake City. Positioned at the dynamic intersection of the downtown core, the Depot District, and the West Temple corridor, this flat-grade surface lot offers straightforward, drive-up parking. Because the facility is an entirely outdoor, open-air lot, it boasts zero vertical height restrictions, making it an exceptional choice for standard passenger cars, lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, rooftop-cargo vehicles, and high-roof work or transit vans that cannot navigate standard low-clearance parking garages.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
This parking facility provides strategic, walkable access to many of Salt Lake City\'s premier sports, entertainment, and cultural destinations:

Drivers benefit from immediate proximity to major transportation arteries, including quick connections to Interstate 15 via 600 North or 600 South.

Visitor & Driver Tips
During sold-out events and concerts at the Delta Center, surrounding lots fill up rapidly; aim to arrive 45 to 60 minutes prior to event start times to ensure a space. Pay attention to on-site rate boards, as event rates or flat evening rates may apply during arena game nights. Be sure to note your stall number or license plate before paying through the designated mobile payment portal to guarantee that your session is correctly validated.
