Facility Overview
The Salt Lake Community College Visitor Parking Lot serves as a primary access point for guests, prospective students, and event attendees visiting the expansive SLCC Taylorsville Redwood Campus in Taylorsville, Utah. Situated conveniently off the campus loop road near the main academic and administrative complexes, this facility is designed as a spacious, single-level open-air surface parking lot. Because it is an outdoor lot without overhead structures or clearance beams, it boasts unrestricted vertical clearance, making it fully capable of accommodating standard passenger sedans, full-size pickup trucks, large SUVs, and even taller utility vehicles or high-roof passenger vans without ceiling restrictions.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Located centrally on the flagship Taylorsville Redwood Campus, this parking lot provides exceptional walkability to key campus landmarks and community venues. Within a 2 to 5-minute stroll, visitors can reach the Lifetime Activities Center (LAC)—which hosts collegiate basketball, volleyball, trade shows, and community sporting tournaments—as well as the Student Center, the Markosian Library, and the Technology and Industry buildings. Off campus, the lot is located just minutes away from the bustling Redwood Road commercial corridor, featuring numerous dining choices, casual eateries, and local retail centers, making it an ideal staging point for campus business, athletic competitions, or regional academic conferences.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Vehicular ingress and egress are remarkably straightforward. Drivers can access the lot directly from Redwood Road (State Route 68) via campus arterial roads like Community Boulevard or 4600 South. The surface lot features broad drive aisles and distinct directional signage that keeps traffic moving efficiently during morning class rushes and large evening events. For regional commuters, the campus is immediately accessible from the I-215 Belt Route and provides easy connectivity to Interstate 15 via 4500 South. Public transit riders will appreciate nearby Utah Transit Authority (UTA) bus stops situated along Redwood Road, providing direct connections to the wider Salt Lake Valley transit grid and nearby TRAX light rail lines.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Parking regulations on campus are strictly monitored on weekdays. Be sure to note your license plate number upon parking, as SLCC utilizes a license plate recognition (LPR) system; payment should be initiated immediately via the designated mobile parking app or at the posted visitor payment kiosks. If you are arriving for high-attendance athletic tournaments, commencement ceremonies, or special events at the Lifetime Activities Center, aim to arrive 20 to 30 minutes early to secure a prime stall closest to your venue entrance.
