Facility Overview
The Ballpark West Lot is a dedicated, open-air surface parking facility situated directly alongside the premier sports and entertainment venue at 11166 Ballpark Drive in South Jordan, Utah. Positioned within the vibrant Downtown Daybreak master-planned district, this ground-level parking lot is designed primarily to serve visitors and credentialed guests attending events at The Ballpark at America First Square—the state-of-the-art home of the Salt Lake Bees baseball club. Because it is a spacious open surface lot without overhead beams, standard passenger cars, large pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, and passenger vans can maneuver and park without vertical clearance restrictions. High-roof vehicles and roof-rack accessories can clear the area with ease, although drivers of oversized commercial vehicles or trailers should confirm event-specific space rules in advance.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Strategically positioned in the heart of South Jordan’s expanding Downtown Daybreak urban core, the West Lot provides an unbeatable front-row arrival experience. Key nearby attractions and points of interest include:
- The Ballpark at America First Square: Located just steps from the lot, offering direct pedestrian access to stadium entrance gates for Minor League Baseball games, concerts, and outdoor festivals.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress and egress for the West Lot are arranged along Ballpark Drive, Lake Run Road, and Grandville Avenue, engineered to feed into regional arterial roads including the Mountain View Corridor (UT-85) and nearby South Jordan Parkway (UT-151). This provides direct highway connections to Bangerter Highway and Interstate 15. During major game days and sellout stadium events, traffic control staff direct flow to reduce bottle-necking onto neighborhood streets. For regional transit riders, the UTA TRAX Red Line terminus at the Daybreak Parkway Station is within convenient walking or shuttle distance, providing seamless rail transit directly to and from downtown Salt Lake City and the University of Utah without the need to drive.
