Parking

During your visit to Salt Lake you want to spend less time worrying about parking and more time enjoying all the wonderful things we have to offer. While parking across most of the area is free, visitors may come across fees in high-traffic areas like Downtown Salt Lake City. We’ve put together a quick guide below, so you can plan ahead and have no trouble finding the perfect, convenient spot. 

Downtown

Downtown boasts over 32,000 parking spots in garages, lots, and on the street. Whether hitting up a Utah Jazz game, the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, or a highly recommended restaurant, there is more than enough parking to go around.

You’ll find convenient metered parking throughout downtown that accepts coins and credit card payments. The cost is $2.25 per hour Monday through Friday. If your spot does not have an individual meter, park your car and proceed to any nearby blue meter pay station or use the Park SLC App. Next, enter your space number and payment option. Monday through Friday, paid parking runs from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., with a two-hour maximum. Saturdays also have a two-hour maximum (though at no cost), and Sundays have no parking restrictions.

Among the numerous downtown parking garages and lots to utilize: City Creek Center at 50 South Main Street (first two hours are free; $2 each additional hour), Regent Street Garage at 119 South Regent Street ($2 per hour), and One Utah Center Parking at 201 South Main Street ($4 first hour $2 each additional hour).
