Facility Overview
One Utah Center Parking (commonly known as the 201 Tower Garage) is an expansive, high-capacity commercial parking structure situated at 201 South Main Street in the vibrant urban heart of Downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. Serving the iconic 24-story One Utah Center high-rise office tower, the Salt Lake City Marriott City Center, and surrounding downtown establishments, this major parking complex boasts over 1,000 stalls arranged across clean, well-maintained subterranean and covered levels. The facility offers sheltered protection from seasonal weather, keeping vehicles out of winter snowstorms and scorching summer desert heat.
The garage accommodates a wide variety of passenger vehicles, including standard compacts, midsize sedans, family minivans, crossovers, and standard-dimension pickup trucks and full-size SUVs. While the facility easily hosts daily consumer vehicles, drivers of commercial high-roof cargo vans, lifted pickup trucks, or vehicles carrying roof cargo boxes should proceed with caution and observe posted clearance markers at the garage portals. For full-size standard vehicles, wide drive aisles and unobstructed stall layouts provide straightforward maneuvering and stress-free self-parking.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress and egress are engineered for efficient circulation with two dedicated entrance and exit portals. Motorists can access the facility from 200 South between Main Street and State Street (situated directly across from the Walker Center Garage), or via Gallivan Avenue off State Street just south of the Marriott Hotel. Having dual ingress points allows visitors to bypass Main Street pedestrian traffic during major events.
Public transit connectivity is among the best in the state. The garage sits directly beside the Gallivan Plaza TRAX Light Rail Station, providing instant connections to the Blue Line and Green Line trains. Downtown Salt Lake City is part of the UTA Free Fare Zone, allowing visitors to park here and hop on the light rail northward toward Temple Square or westward toward the arena at no charge. For regional commuters, the garage connects rapidly to Interstate 15 and Interstate 80 via 500 South and 600 South, ensuring smooth departures even after high-attendance evening shows.

Visitor & Driver Tips
- Mind In/Out Restrictions: Standard transient and hourly parking tickets do not permit in-and-out privileges; exiting the garage ends your parking session.
- Use the Gallivan Avenue Entry During Rush Hour: When 200 South experiences heavy pedestrian or vehicle traffic before showtime, entering via State Street onto Gallivan Avenue often provides faster access.
- Pre-Book for Popular Shows: During sold-out Broadway runs at the Eccles Theater or marquee arena games, reserve your space in advance via ParkChirp or ParkMobile to secure a stall and lock in your parking pass.
- Take Advantage of the Free Fare Zone: If you are heading to destinations several blocks away, walk out to the adjacent Gallivan Plaza TRAX station and ride the train for free within the downtown boundary.
- Remember Your Level: With multiple levels spanning over a thousand stalls, take a quick photo of your pillar number and garage level marker prior to taking the elevator up to street level.
