Facility Overview
The Home Depot Parking Lot at 328 2100 S is an expansive, open-air surface parking facility situated in the dynamic junction between South Salt Lake and the Ballpark neighborhood of Salt Lake City. Serving one of the busiest home improvement centers in the valley (Store #4403, known locally as the 21st South Home Depot), the parking lot features a broad, organized asphalt layout designed to handle heavy vehicular turnover and large commercial transport. Because this is a wide-open surface lot, there are zero low-clearance overhangs or parking garage height restrictions. This open layout makes it extraordinarily accommodating for passenger cars, large dual-cab pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, contractor vans, high-roof cargo vehicles, flatbeds, and utility trailers carrying heavy cargo or equipment rentals.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Strategically positioned on the major east-west arterial of 2100 South, this facility anchors an active commercial and industrial corridor with rapid access to several top regional destinations:
- Central Pointe Transit District: Located just steps west of the property, offering seamless walking access to South Salt Lake's premier multi-modal transit center.
- Smith's Ballpark: Approximately 1.2 miles north up West Temple/State Street, putting Bees baseball games and neighborhood festivities within a quick 5-minute drive or light rail hop.
- Sugar House Shopping & Dining: Roughly 1.5 to 2 miles east along 2100 South, providing easy connectivity to Sugar House Park, local breweries, and vibrant retail centers.
- Downtown Salt Lake City: Less than 3 miles north (under a 10-minute drive), granting swift access to the Delta Center, Salt Palace Convention Center, and City Creek Center.
- Local Retail & Services: Adjacent to WinCo Foods, auto supply stores, building material wholesalers, and local dining spots along the 2100 South business corridor.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Motorists benefit from exceptional regional accessibility. The facility sits immediately adjacent to the I-15 and I-80 junction (Salt Lake City's renowned interchange network), allowing drivers to exit the interstate onto 2100 South (State Route 201 connector) and pull directly into the lot via dedicated curb cuts on 2100 South and auxiliary service lanes. The lot features wide, two-way driving aisles that facilitate smooth turning radii even during peak morning and weekend contractor rushes.
For transit-minded travelers, the parking area enjoys unparalleled proximity to the UTA TRAX Central Pointe Station, located just across 300 West. Central Pointe serves as a central junction for the Blue, Red, and Green light rail lines, as well as the terminus for the S-Line streetcar connecting directly east to the heart of Sugar House, alongside multiple UTA bus routes traversing 2100 South.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Contractor and trade traffic peaks early between 6:00 AM and 9:00 AM on weekdays, while weekend DIY shoppers create peak volume from mid-morning to early afternoon on Saturdays and Sundays. If you are towing a trailer or driving a large commercial truck, aim for the outer perimeter parking spaces on the western edge of the lot, where maneuvering and turning is easiest. Pay close attention to marked loading zones in front of the contractor desk and garden center; these are strictly reserved for active cargo loading rather than unattended parking. While parking is free of charge for patrons visiting the center, vehicles left overnight or unauthorized commuter parking are subject to private lot towing enforcement.
