Facility Overview
The 848 Main Street Parking Garage is an ideally situated covered parking facility located in the vibrant Historic Old Town district of Park City, Utah. Set directly on Park City’s renowned Main Street corridor, this multi-level facility offers motorists weather-protected parking sheltered from Utah’s intense winter snowstorms and hot summer sun. The garage features clearly demarcated parking stalls, paved driving decks, and bright interior lighting to ensure smooth interior traffic circulation. Because this is an enclosed garage structure, standard passenger cars, crossovers, sedans, and standard-height SUVs navigate and park with ease. However, drivers operating lifted four-wheel-drive trucks, roof-box-equipped ski rigs, high-roof conversion vans, and oversized commercial vehicles should exercise caution regarding vertical overhead clearance limits typical of Old Town Park City structures.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Positioned right along Main Street, this parking garage places visitors directly in the epicenter of Park City’s dining, boutique retail, nightlife, and arts culture:

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
The parking facility is easily accessed via Main Street or adjacent Old Town connector avenues linked to Deer Valley Drive (SR-224) and Marsac Avenue (SR-224 bypass). Motorists navigating Historic Park City should note that Main Street operates with heavy pedestrian activity, one-way sections, and seasonal vehicular restrictions, especially during summer gallery strolls, the Park Silly Sunday Market, and the annual Sundance Film Festival. Once parked, visitors can conveniently hop aboard the free historic Park City Main Street Trolley, which operates up and down the corridor. Additionally, the Old Town Transit Center is within easy walking distance, offering complimentary municipal bus connections across the entire Summit County transit network, including direct routes to Deer Valley Resort, Canyons Village, and Kimball Junction.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Parking throughout Old Town Park City is in extremely high demand, particularly during peak winter ski weekends, holidays, and evening dinner hours between 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM. Rates and rules can vary by season, with peak winter rates applied during peak ski months and special event periods. Drivers are strongly advised to arrive early in the afternoon to secure a stall before evening dining rushes. Before entering, always check vehicle height restrictions if your vehicle is equipped with roof-mounted ski racks, cargo boxes, or mountain bikes. Keep your license plate number handy when paying at automated kiosks or mobile apps.
