About this Location

Facility Overview

The Salt Palace Garage (South Lot) at 100-198 W 200 S offers premier underground and covered parking right beneath the Calvin L. Rampton Salt Palace Convention Center in the heart of Downtown Salt Lake City. Operating as an official facility for Utah\'s flagship convention center, this multi-level covered structure provides sheltered, weather-protected parking designed to accommodate high volumes of daily commuters, exhibition attendees, and entertainment seekers. The garage features wide travel aisles, clear bay markings, and well-lit pedestrian corridors linking directly into convention concourses. Standard passenger vehicles, crossovers, compact cars, and standard full-size SUVs can easily navigate the subterranean levels. Drivers of lifted pickup trucks, oversized conversion vans, or vehicles equipped with rooftop cargo boxes should heed the posted vehicle clearance limit of 6 feet 10 inches (2.08 meters); over-height vehicles and commercial trucks should utilize designated surface loading docks or nearby outdoor lots instead.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When attending high-profile events at either the Salt Palace or the Delta Center, plan to arrive at least 45 minutes prior to start time to secure a spot and avoid bottlenecking along 200 South. Note your parking level and column number or snap a photo of the nearest elevator vestibule, as the footprint of the garage is extensive. If visiting during peak winter snowstorms, this covered facility provides significant convenience by keeping your windshield clear and vehicle warm while you enjoy downtown Salt Lake City.
