Harrogate District Hospital has several different car parks, with the main car park located right outside the main entrance.
We operate a pay-on-foot parking scheme. As you enter the car park, take a ticket from the machine at the entrance barrier. Please keep this ticket on you and pay at the pay stations in the Hospital entrance lobby on your way back to your car. This will validate the ticket and open the exit barrier.
At peak times we have car park attendants on duty to assist with any queries or difficulties.
Drop offs
If you are dropping off patients at the main entrance and intend to wait, please park in the visitors’ car park as it is vital that we keep all emergency routes clear.
Disabled badge holders
Our main patients’ and visitors’ car park has 21 spaces for disabled drivers near to the hospital entrance. In addition to this, there are four disabled spaces at Heatherdene (for renal patients), four at the Sir Robert Ogden Macmillan Centre and two disabled bays outside the entrance of the Briary Wing.
Please take a ticket as normal, and present this with your badge at the main reception when leaving. Please also place your time clock on the dashboard before leaving your vehicle.
