About this Location

Facility Overview

The Salt Palace Garage Public Entrance provides direct subterranean and multi-level covered parking beneath and adjacent to the Calvin L. Rampton Salt Palace Convention Center in the heart of Downtown Salt Lake City. Located along 200 West between South Temple and 100 South, this official facility offers hundreds of climate-protected, well-lit parking bays designed to serve large-scale events, trade shows, business commuters, and sports fans alike. The garage comfortably accommodates standard passenger sedans, crossovers, minivans, and standard full-size pickup trucks and SUVs. Drivers of lifted trucks, high-roof conversion vans, or vehicles with elevated roof racks should be mindful of the posted maximum clearance height of approximately 7 feet 0 inches (84 inches). Overheight vehicles and trailers must seek surface parking elsewhere.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During major conventions, NHL games, or Utah Jazz home games, traffic along 200 West and South Temple can back up significantly roughly 45 to 60 minutes before tip-off or event start. Plan to arrive early to secure lower-level spots and facilitate an easier exit. After blockbuster events at the Delta Center, expect moderate queueing at exit gates; using 200 West to head immediately south toward 500 South or 600 South often provides a faster route onto I-15 than attempting to traverse South Temple.
