Facility Overview
The South Jordan Parkway Station Park & Ride is an expansive, open-air surface parking facility serving the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) TRAX Red Line in South Jordan, Utah. Situated conveniently off West South Jordan Parkway (10600 South) and Grandville Avenue on the edge of the vibrant Daybreak master-planned community, this facility provides hassle-free parking for commuters, clinic visitors, and local travelers. Because the lot is fully open-air with no overhead structures, there are no vertical clearance limits, making it fully accommodating for high-roof utility vans, lifted pickup trucks, standard SUVs, and passenger vehicles alike. The well-paved lot features wide drive aisles, clearly striped standard stalls, and convenient accessible parking spaces positioned right next to the transit platform ramps.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Strategically positioned in southwestern Salt Lake County, the South Jordan Parkway Station serves as a gateway to both local Daybreak amenities and the greater Salt Lake metropolitan area:
- University of Utah Health South Jordan Health Center: Located less than a 5-minute walk (0.2 miles) away, making this an effortless parking choice for patients, medical staff, and visitors.
- Daybreak Community & Oquirrh Lake: Situated just over a half-mile west, offering access to waterfront trails, parks, boat rentals, and scenic outdoor recreation.
- SoDa Row Retail & Dining District: A 15-minute walk or a brief 3-minute drive, featuring boutique dining, local cafes, shops, and community events.
- Downtown Salt Lake City & University of Utah: Boarding the TRAX Red Line directly from this lot offers a direct, traffic-free ride to the Delta Center, Salt Palace Convention Center, City Creek Center, Rice-Eccles Stadium, and the University of Utah campus.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress and egress are straightforward via Grandville Avenue and West South Jordan Parkway, with immediate connectivity to the Mountain View Corridor (Utah State Route 85) and Bangerter Highway (SR-154). Commuters heading north or east can easily avoid freeway congestion on Interstate 15 by parking here and boarding the light rail. The on-site TRAX Red Line departs regularly on weekdays and weekends, and connecting UTA bus routes serve the nearby arterial corridors, providing a comprehensive transit hub for the southwest valley.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Parking in the general commuter stalls at this UTA facility is complimentary for public transit patrons. Stalls fill up steadily during weekday morning peak hours (7:30 AM to 8:30 AM), so arriving slightly earlier ensures a spot close to the platform walkway. Overnight parking is generally permitted for transit users for up to 24 consecutive hours, but vehicles should always be locked with all valuables placed out of sight. During winter months, snowplows service the main lanes early; watch for slick surfaces when walking between your vehicle and the platform.
