Facility Overview

Trolley Square Additional Parking serves the bustling Trolley Square shopping, dining, and historic district in Salt Lake City\'s vibrant Central City and East Central neighborhoods. Positioned adjacent to the historic 1908 streetcar barn complex, this dedicated facility provides open-air surface parking designed to comfortably accommodate daily visitors, shoppers, and diners. Because it is a spacious, open-air lot, there are no overhead clearance restrictions or height barriers, making it exceptionally well-suited for high-profile vehicles including full-size pickup trucks, oversized SUVs, conversion vans, and vehicles equipped with roof racks or cargo carriers that typically struggle in downtown parking garages.

Visitor & Driver Tips

While parking is generally convenient and complimentary for district visitors, spaces fill up rapidly during weekend brunch hours, Friday and Saturday evening dining peaks, and during special seasonal events hosted at Trolley Square. To secure a prime space closest to the main building entrance, aim to arrive just ahead of peak lunch (11:30 AM) or dinner (5:30 PM) periods. If you are using this location as a transit park-and-ride for events at the University of Utah or downtown, please ensure you respect posted on-site customer parking guidelines to avoid potential ticketing or towing.
