About this Location

Facility Overview

The Walker Center Parking Garage is a premier multi-level covered parking facility located at 160 Regent Street in the heart of Downtown Salt Lake City. Serving both the iconic 1912 Walker Center tower and the bustling cultural and commercial district along Main Street and Regent Street, this well-maintained structure offers direct, sheltered vehicle accommodation protected from seasonal Utah weather. The garage features well-marked stalls, wide circulation ramps, and clearly marked pedestrian exits. While perfectly suited for standard passenger cars, midsize crossovers, compact sedans, and standard SUVs, drivers of oversized pickup trucks, roof-rack-equipped sports utility vehicles, and high-roof commercial vans should note the facility clearance limit of approximately 6 feet 8 inches (2.03 meters). Taller vehicles should seek nearby surface lots.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Positioned right along Regent Street\'s charming pedestrian-friendly corridor, Walker Center Parking places visitors steps away from some of Salt Lake City\'s most vibrant cultural, shopping, and entertainment destinations:

Eccles Theater: Located directly across Regent Street and Main Street (less than a 2-minute walk), making it the premier parking choice for touring Broadway productions, stand-up comedy, and concerts.
The Gallivan Center: Situated only one block south, hosting outdoor concerts, ice skating in winter, cultural festivals, and community food truck gatherings.
City Creek Center: Just one block north, providing world-class retail shopping, premier dining, and water feature promenades.
Salt Palace Convention Center: Approximately two blocks west, accommodating major trade exhibitions, consumer expos, and national conferences.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Vehicular ingress and egress is accessed directly off Regent Street, a north-south thoroughfare easily reached from 100 South or 200 South between Main Street and State Street. Following major events at the Eccles Theater or weekend rushes, exiting onto 200 South allows smooth connections to 400 South, offering swift access to Interstate 15 and Interstate 80. For regional commuters and travelers looking to combine driving with mass transit, the facility sits adjacent to the UTA TRAX light rail corridor, with both Gallivan Plaza Station and City Creek Station within two blocks, providing rapid connection via the Blue, Green, and Red lines across the Salt Lake Valley and to Salt Lake City International Airport.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Due to its prime location directly adjacent to the Eccles Theater, this garage fills up rapidly on Broadway show nights and weekend evenings. Drivers attending ticketed performances are strongly advised to arrive at least 45 to 60 minutes prior to curtain call to secure a space and avoid entry queues. Note that Regent Street is a narrower downtown lane with active pedestrian foot traffic; exercise extra caution when turning into and out of the garage. Keep your parking ticket or digital validation handy upon exit to ensure a smooth departure.
