Facility Overview
The Target Parking Lot in Salt Lake City, Utah (ZIP 84106) provides open-air surface parking located in the vibrant and fast-growing Sugar House district. Characterized by wide drive aisles, generous stall spacing, and flat asphalt paving, this facility easily accommodates a wide variety of personal and commercial passenger vehicles. Drivers of standard sedans, compact crossovers, large pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, and passenger minivans can navigate and park without difficulty. Because this is an open surface lot with no low-hanging overhead structural barriers, vehicles with taller roof clearance—such as ski-rack-equipped SUVs, cargo vans, or rooftop utility boxes—enjoy unrestricted vertical headroom.
