Facility Overview

Situated in the vibrant Central City / East Central district of Salt Lake City (UT 84102), this open-air parking facility serves drivers navigating the lively corridor between Downtown Salt Lake City and the University of Utah. The lot features an organized surface-level layout designed to facilitate smooth maneuvering and straightforward parking. Because it is an open-air lot with no overhead barriers or height restrictions, it effortlessly accommodates standard passenger cars, oversized SUVs, full-size pickup trucks, and high-clearance utility vans that typically cannot enter subterranean or multi-level parking decks.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

The facility benefits from a strategic East Central position along the bustling 400 South corridor, placing motorists within walking distance and short transit hops to renowned Salt Lake City destinations:

• Trolley Square: Located just a brief walk to the southeast, offering boutique shopping, dining, and historic charm.
• Salt Lake City Public Library & Washington Square: Approximately 4 to 5 blocks to the west, home to civic events, architectural landmarks, and local festivals.
• Rice-Eccles Stadium & University of Utah: Situated roughly 1.5 miles east straight up 400 South; drivers often park in Central City and hop on transit to avoid campus gameday gridlock.
• Downtown Salt Lake City: A 5-minute drive or direct light rail ride to the Delta Center, Salt Palace Convention Center, and City Creek Center.
• Local Dining & Cafes: Flanked by an eclectic selection of neighborhood eateries, coffee shops, and local services along 400 South and 500 East.

Ingress and egress are straightforward via local neighborhood arterials connecting seamlessly to 400 South (University Boulevard) and 500 East. The location offers outstanding transit connectivity, situated directly along the corridor served by the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) TRAX Red Line.
