Facility Overview

Situated directly at the Mountain Village base area of world-renowned Park City Mountain Resort, the parking facilities at 1355 Lowell Ave serve as the primary gateway to alpine recreation, summer adventures, and mountain dining. Comprising open-air surface lots (including the Main, First Time, and Silver King surface areas) alongside adjacent covered options, this location provides direct ski-in/ski-out foot access to major chairlifts such as the Payday Express, Crescent Express, and First Time lifts. Because the primary surface lots feature wide-open outdoor layouts without vertical overhead clearance restrictions, they effortlessly accommodate standard passenger vehicles, all-wheel-drive crossovers, full-size SUVs with ski racks or cargo boxes, and oversized pickup trucks equipped for snowy conditions. Designated ADA accessible stalls are situated closest to the resort plaza and pedestrian breezeways.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Accessing 1355 Lowell Avenue is straightforward via Utah State Route 224 (Park Avenue) turning onto Empire Avenue or Manor Way, leading directly to Lowell Avenue. The entryways are clearly marked with electronic messaging and parking attendants during peak ski season. Egress can experience heavy congestion during afternoon peak departure hours (3:00 PM to 5:00 PM) as skiers head down Lowell Avenue toward SR-224; utilizing Manor Way or Empire Avenue provides useful dispersal. For eco-conscious travelers and those looking to avoid mountain driving, the Park City Transit Center is seamlessly connected via Park City’s zero-fare municipal bus system, which operates frequent routes connecting Mountain Village, Deer Valley, Canyons Village, and the Richardson Flat Park-and-Ride.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During the winter ski season, Park City Mountain enforces an advance parking reservation system for the Mountain Village surface lots from early morning until 1:00 PM. Travelers should make their reservations online in advance, especially on weekends, powder days, and holiday periods. Carpooling with four or more individuals often qualifies for free parking with a required reservation. Vehicles arriving after 1:00 PM typically park free on a first-come, first-served basis. During heavy winter snowstorms, ensure your vehicle is equipped with snow tires, all-wheel drive, or appropriate traction devices, and allow extra time to navigate Lowell Avenue safely.
