Parking
On-site parking is available across Niagara Health. Signage at each location will direct you to park in the lots designated for patients and visitors.
A gated system is in place at our hospitals in St. Catharines, Niagara Falls and Welland. Pay and display systems are in use at the Port Colborne and Fort Erie urgent care centres.
St. Catharines, Niagara Falls and Welland HOSPITALS
Parking lots with the gated system have three payment options - cash, VISA or MasterCard. The parking system cannot take debit at this time.
You can use your VISA or MasterCard by directly swiping to get in and out of the parking lot. The same card must be used to enter and exit and no ticket is required.
Alternatively, you can take a ticket upon entry into the parking lot. Bring the ticket into the hospital with you – do not leave it in your vehicle. There are kiosks at the entrances where you can pay by cash, VISA or MasterCard before leaving the building. If you have a ticket, you can also use your VISA or MasterCard to pay at the exit gate. You would need to insert your ticket into the machine, followed by your VISA or MasterCard.
Port Colborne and Fort Erie URGENT CARE CENTRES
When parking in pay and display lots, please purchase a ticket in the machine and display it on your dashboard.
