About this Location

Facility Overview

The West Temple Parking Lot, located at 134 W North Temple St in downtown Salt Lake City, offers an easily accessible, self-park open-air surface lot situated right at the northern threshold of the central business and entertainment district. Positioned directly along North Temple between West Temple and 200 West, this spacious asphalt lot provides clear sightlines, broad driving lanes, and hassle-free maneuverability. Because it operates as an outdoor surface facility without an overhead parking deck, it boasts unrestricted vertical clearance, making it an exceptional parking choice for standard passenger sedans, oversized pickup trucks, lifted SUVs, full-sized passenger vans, and light commercial vehicles that cannot safely enter standard multi-story parking garages with low ceiling limits.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Strategically positioned near major downtown landmarks, the lot places visitors within comfortable walking distance of Salt Lake City\'s premier sports, civic, and cultural venues:

Delta Center: Home to the Utah Jazz and major headlining arena concerts, located merely 3 to 4 blocks away (approx. an 8- to 10-minute walk).
The Conference Center & Temple Square: Positioned just east across the street, allowing visitors to walk to the LDS Conference Center, Temple Square grounds, and the Church History Museum in under 5 minutes.
Salt Palace Convention Center: Situated roughly a 10-minute walk south, making this lot a great alternative for delegates and exhibitors attending expos and trade shows.
The Gateway & Clark Planetarium: An easy 10-minute stroll southwest to access open-air dining, movie theaters, comedy clubs, and shopping.
Utah State Capitol: Located just up the hill to the northeast (approx. a 15-minute walk or 3-minute transit/rideshare trip).
City Creek Center: High-end retail shopping, dining, and creek-side promenades are accessible within an 8-minute walk east.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress and egress are straightforward via North Temple Street, a major multi-lane east-west corridor in Salt Lake City. Drivers arriving from Interstate 15 or Interstate 80 can take the 600 South or 600 North exits and transition rapidly onto West Temple or North Temple. Exiting following large events at the Delta Center or Temple Square is substantially faster from this lot compared to congested arena-adjacent parking decks, as motorists can immediately proceed west toward I-15 or east toward State Street. For regional commuters, the lot is located within the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) Free Fare Zone, with the Temple Square TRAX station and Arena TRAX station mere blocks away, offering seamless light rail connections on the Green, Blue, and Red lines, as well as easy transfers to FrontRunner commuter rail at North Temple Station.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During major sellout concerts, Utah Jazz basketball games, or large conventions, this lot can experience high demand; arriving 45 to 60 minutes before scheduled event start times is highly recommended to secure a prime stall. Be sure to note your license plate number upon parking, as mobile payment systems require plate entry to validate parking sessions. Keep an eye out for event-rate signage during arena dates, as flat event pricing may replace standard hourly meters during peak evening hours.
