Facility Overview
Conveniently situated in the vibrant downtown core of Salt Lake City, the SP+ Parking garage at 136 E South Temple St provides secure, covered multi-level parking beneath the prominent 136 East South Temple commercial high-rise. Serving both daily office tenants and downtown visitors, this structured facility protects vehicles from Utah\'s seasonal weather extremes, including hot summer days and snowy winter mornings. The garage features well-marked stalls, wide two-way driving ramps, and designated accessible bays. Standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, and standard mid-size SUVs can park effortlessly throughout the levels. However, drivers of lifted pickup trucks, full-size extended-cab vehicles, and high-roof conversion vans should pay careful attention to the posted garage overhead clearance (typically 6 feet 8 inches to 7 feet 0 inches) before entering.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Downtown Salt Lake City experiences heavy vehicular traffic during weekday rush hours and evening curtain times for major Eccles Theater shows. If attending a weekend performance or peak dining rush, plan to arrive 20 to 30 minutes early to secure a parking stall on the lower decks and easily navigate the elevators. Pre-booking a spot through parking apps when available can guarantee entry during busy downtown festival weekends. Remember to keep your parking ticket or digital barcode accessible for seamless gate validation upon exiting onto South Temple.
