Facility Overview
The Park Ave Parking Garage is a modern multi-level parking facility situated in the vibrant Sugar House and Brickyard commercial district of Salt Lake City, UT 84106. Strategically positioned just off the 1300 East corridor and moments from the Interstate 80 junction, this structure provides secure, weather-protected parking for local office tenants, shoppers, diners, and neighborhood visitors. The garage features wide driving aisles, clearly delineated parking bays, and multi-deck covered spaces designed to shield vehicles from Utah\'s intense summer sun and winter snow. The facility comfortably accommodates standard sedans, compact crossovers, light trucks, and full-size SUVs. Drivers operating commercial high-top transit vans, vehicles with roof cargo boxes, or lifted trucks should observe the posted overhead entrance clearance signs (typically 7\'0\" or 8\'2\" depending on the tier) prior to entering.

Visitor & Driver Tips
When arriving during peak weekday business hours (8:30 AM to 10:00 AM), upper levels frequently offer the quickest and most hassle-free spot selection. Make sure to note your level and pillar marker before heading out to surrounding shops or appointments. If you are visiting during winter storms, the garage provides excellent shelter, keeping your car snow- and frost-free. Always double-check your vehicle clearance if traveling with rooftop ski racks, bike carriers, or cargo boxes before passing under overhead barrier bars.
