Drop off, pick up & parking
The San has automated paid parking onsite, allowing us to provide more secure car park spaces for patient, visitors, doctors and staff. The car park most commonly used by patients and visitors is the multi-deck car park (P1), which is accessed via the main entrance at the traffic lights on Fox Valley Road (Entry 1).
A 'quick' patient pick up / drop off zone is located adjacent to the multi-deck car park (P1) and allows access to the main hospital on Level 2. The pick up / drop off zone offers 20 minutes of free parking as well as an entrance to the multi-deck car park (fees applicable) should you need to stay longer.
If you need more time to pick up or drop off the patient, we recommend you park your car in the hospital multi-deck car park (P1). Once parked, you can access the hospital directly from Level 2 and Level 4. Level 4 gives the most direct access to all hospital buildings – Clark Tower, Clifford Tower and Kress. Follow the directional signs once you enter the hospital. Please see main reception on Level 4 if you require assistance.
If you will be visiting a patient on multiple days, weekly passes can be purchased from any pay station. Select 'weekly pass' at the pay station to get a new ticket, and discard the one given on entry to the carpark.
We recommend you do not leave your ticket in your car. Pay stations are located near hospital entry points for cash and credit card payments, and you can also pay by card at the exit boom gates.
