About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated directly along the vibrant corridor of downtown Salt Lake City, the parking facility at 212 E 600 S offers convenient, self-park open-air surface parking. Positioned between 200 East and 300 East, this well-laid-out asphalt lot accommodates a wide variety of vehicle types. Because it is an open surface lot without overhead ceiling restrictions or low garage beams, it provides unlimited vertical clearance. This makes it an ideal parking solution not only for standard sedans, compacts, and crossovers, but also for lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, commercial service vans, and vehicles equipped with roof racks or cargo carriers that often cannot enter multi-level downtown parking decks.

Entering and exiting the lot is straightforward, with clear driveway aprons onto 600 South. For public transit users, the location is unbeatable: the UTA TRAX light rail system is accessible at the Library Station (Red Line) along 400 South or the Courthouse Station (Blue, Red, and Green Lines) on Main Street, providing rapid, car-free transit to the University of Utah, Salt Lake City International Airport, and the broader Wasatch Front.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because 600 South is a high-capacity one-way arterial road carrying traffic inbound from the freeway, drivers should position themselves in the northern (left) lanes ahead of time as they approach 200 East to ensure an easy left-hand turn into the lot driveway. When visiting during major downtown festivals, civic celebrations at Washington Square, or regional conferences, spaces can fill up rapidly—arriving slightly before peak hours or booking ahead via mobile parking services ensures you secure a reliable space.
