Facility Overview
Quail Hollow Park Parking is an open-air surface parking facility situated at 2677 Quail Hollow Dr in the scenic East Bench neighborhood of Sandy, Utah. Serving as the primary parking area for Quail Hollow Park, this convenient suburban lot features a paved asphalt layout designed to accommodate park visitors, neighborhood recreators, and outdoor enthusiasts. Because it is an open-air lot with no overhead barriers, parking structures, or low clearance overhangs, the facility provides unlimited vertical clearance. This makes it suitable not only for standard sedans and compact cars but also for large pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, minivans, and vehicles equipped with roof racks or mountain bikes.
