Facility Overview
The Target Parking Lot at 1094 S 300 W serves as the central parking area for the high-volume Target department store in Salt Lake City, Utah. Situated just south of downtown in the bustling Ballpark and Central City periphery, this facility consists of an expansive, single-level outdoor surface parking lot. Designed to accommodate everyday retail traffic, family haulers, and local visitors, the open-air layout means there are no low-clearance vertical ceilings or garage overhead beams to navigate. As a result, standard passenger sedans, pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, minivans, and roof-rack-equipped overland vehicles can easily maneuver through the wide drive aisles and park without clearance constraints.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Positioned along the major 300 West commercial corridor, this lot places visitors in close proximity to prominent sports, community, and recreational destinations in Salt Lake City:
- Smith\\\'s Ballpark: Located only 0.5 miles south (an easy 10-minute walk), making the immediate commercial corridor a frequent hub on game days.
- Downtown Salt Lake City: Less than two miles north, offering swift access to Delta Center, the Salt Palace Convention Center, and City Creek Center via a short 5- to 7-minute drive.
- Liberty Park & Tracy Aviary: Located roughly 1.5 miles east, offering one of the city\\\'s most beloved urban green spaces and outdoor weekend markets.
- 9th & 9th and Granary Districts: Vibrant arts, craft brewery, and dining districts situated within minutes to the east and northwest.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Navigating to and from the lot is straightforward thanks to multiple curb-cut entry and exit lanes along South 300 West and connecting cross streets near 1000 South and 1100 South. The facility benefits from immediate regional highway access via Interstate 15 and Interstate 80 interchanges at 900 South and 1300 South, allowing drivers to bypass downtown surface congestion. For transit commuters, the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) TRAX light rail lines (Red, Blue, and Green) are accessible nearby at the Ballpark Station and 900 South Station, alongside multiple local UTA bus routes servicing 300 West and State Street.

Visitor & Driver Tips
While the parking lot is complimentary and intended primarily for active Target and retail customers, drivers visiting the area during events at nearby venues should always heed posted property signs regarding customer-only rules and tow-away enforcement. Peak shopping hours generally occur on weekday evenings between 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM as well as weekend afternoons; arriving earlier in the morning offers the smoothest entry and most immediate access to spaces near the building entrances.
