Facility Overview
Premium Parking - P7102 is an open-air surface parking lot centrally situated at 447 Blair Street in Salt Lake City\'s vibrant Central City neighborhood, positioned right between 400 South and 500 South. Tucked conveniently along Blair Street between 300 East and 400 East, this facility offers an accessible, low-stress alternative to dense multistory garages in the central business district. Because the facility is an uncovered outdoor surface lot, it features completely open headroom without any restrictive overhead clearance bars. This layout makes it exceptionally accommodating not only for standard sedans and compact crossovers, but also for full-size pickup trucks, oversized SUVs, lifted off-road vehicles, roof-rack-equipped ski rigs, and commercial work vans.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Located on the eastern fringe of downtown Salt Lake City, P7102 offers prompt walking access to cultural landmarks, entertainment districts, and civic institutions:

Transit connections are exceptional: the UTA TRAX Red Line runs along 400 South, with stations at 400 South / 400 East and Library Station situated just minutes away on foot.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Because Blair Street is a smaller mid-block connector, keep a sharp eye out for the street signs when turning off 400 South or 500 South. Set up your parking session immediately upon arrival via your smartphone using the posted text-to-pay instructions or QR codes to avoid ticketing or citation. During major downtown civic festivals at Washington Square or high-profile football games at the University of Utah, this lot can experience higher turnover; arriving 20 to 30 minutes early ensures you easily snag a preferred parking stall.
