FAQ: What about parking?

Parking at the Stuart Lake Hospital has always been a bit of a challenge. In a small lot, where the parking lines are obscured for up to eight months of the year, it can be tricky to decide where to safely stow your truck or car.

You'll be happy to hear that once the new hospital is built, parking is and will remain free at Stuart Lake Hospital, and given the lot is gaining size and stalls, it's definitely going to be easier to park for the duration of your visit to the facility.

85 new parking stalls will be provided, and the plan for the meantime includes keeping as much of the existing parking available by requiring the contractor to make alternate parking arrangements for their workers.

3 of these new stalls will be wheelchair accessible, with above ground signage and access avenues on either side. These sites are the closest of all the parking spots to the front doors to ensure easy access and the safety of visitors.

There will be a period of time when the old hospital is demolished that parking will be constrained once again, but a portion of the new parking area, including the wheelchair accessible sites, will be available to the public and staff.

We still have to contend with winter conditions and an icy lot for a good portion of the year, but rest assured, when the new hospital is here, parking will be a lot easier.
