About this Location

Facility Overview

The Parkside Tower Garage is a premier covered multi-level parking facility situated at 215 State St in the vibrant heart of Downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. Serving both the prominent 215 South State commercial tower and the surrounding downtown entertainment district, this structured garage provides clean, covered, and weather-protected parking throughout all four Utah seasons. With well-marked circulation lanes, clear interior wayfinding, and designated pedestrian corridors, navigating the decks is smooth and intuitive. The garage accommodates standard passenger sedans, crossovers, and mid-size SUVs effortlessly. However, like most multi-story downtown parking structures, clearance is restricted (typically around 6\'8\" to 7\'0\"), meaning high-roof commercial vans, lifted pickup trucks, and vehicles equipped with oversized roof racks should verify clearance signage at the entry portal prior to pulling in.

Exiting drivers can easily connect with eastbound or westbound arterial thoroughfares, offering a rapid path toward Interstate 15 (via 400 South or 600 South ramps) and Interstate 80. For multi-modal travelers, transit connectivity is virtually unbeatable: the UTA TRAX light rail Gallivan Plaza Station (serving the Blue, Red, and Green Lines) sits merely steps away on Main Street, placing Salt Lake City International Airport, the University of Utah, and the southern valley suburbs within a direct, hassle-free train ride.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During sold-out evening performances at the Eccles Theater or major weekend festivals at Gallivan Center, inbound traffic along State Street can back up; plan to arrive 20 to 30 minutes before showtime to secure an optimal spot without rushing. Remember to take your parking ticket with you when leaving your car, as you can settle your parking balance at the lobby automated pay stations prior to returning to your vehicle to expedite your exit. If driving an oversized truck or an SUV with rooftop cargo boxes, pay close attention to posted ceiling height warnings at the entrance ramp.
