About this Location

Facility Overview

The Public Parking facility at 128 S 300 W provides strategically positioned downtown parking in the vibrant core of Salt Lake City, Utah. Operating as an easily accessible, open-air surface parking lot, this location offers convenient ground-level self-parking right between 100 South and 200 South along 300 West. Because it is an outdoor surface lot without the restrictive ceiling heights of multi-story garages, it offers virtually unlimited overhead clearance, making it an ideal choice for standard sedans, large SUVs, lifted pickup trucks, commercial vans, and roof-rack-equipped adventure vehicles. The open layout features clearly delineated parking bays and wide driving aisles that allow for straightforward maneuvers, smooth turnarounds, and stress-free parking.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During marquee Delta Center events, Utah Jazz home games, and major conventions, demand spikes significantly. Drivers are advised to arrive 45 to 60 minutes prior to event tip-off or door times to secure a space without delays. Event flat rates may be instituted during high-profile gatherings; always verify payment terms and display requirements at the on-site signage or via the mobile payment app immediately upon parking. Note your license plate number before walking toward the payment kiosk, as parking sessions are enforced electronically by license plate recognition.
