CHEO Parking on the Smyth Road Campus
The hospital’s parking is provided through its own hourly parking in the parking lot and garage. CHEO lists the rate as $4.40 per 30 minutes, capped at $15.60 per day, with a day pass also priced at $15.60 (cheo.on.ca). A monthly pass costs $90 and is valid for 30 consecutive days (cheo.on.ca).
The campus garage is a seven-storey, 1,050-space open-air structure on Smyth Road (walterfedy.com). Accessible parking is available near the main entrance in the Pay and Display area, and holders of an accessible parking permit do not need to pay there (cheo.on.ca). The garage also includes dedicated parking for caregivers of children and youth with disabilities (walterfedy.com).
Street Parking Around the Hospital in Riverview
The hospital is at 401 Smyth Road in Riverview, near Riviera. The campus parking information identifies the Pay and Display area near the main entrance, so drivers visiting for appointments have a designated paid option close to the building rather than needing to rely on residential streets (cheo.on.ca).
A patient or visitor may need to move a car during a longer appointment, and an accessible permit only removes payment in the accessible Pay and Display area identified by CHEO, rather than creating a general street-parking exemption (cheo.on.ca).
Parksy Spaces Near Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario
Parksy lists a monthly space on Kilborn Avenue, 1.6 km from the hospital, at $80 a month. The monthly format suits a patient attending repeated appointments or a staff member needing regular parking. A Calgary Stampede Lot 11 outdoor space is 2.0 km away and costs $18 an hour, making it a short-stay option rather than a sensible base for a full shift.
Other listed options include a monthly space at 1312 Bank Street, 2.5 km away, for $150 a month; a space on Isabella Street, 2.5 km away, for $3.99 an hour; a monthly Ottawa space 2.6 km away for $125 a month; and a private 24/7 space 2.8 km away for $10 a day. The monthly listings are the strongest fit for repeated visits or shift work.
Arriving for Appointments and Emergency Care at CHEO
For a planned visit, the main entrance is the most useful arrival point because accessible parking is available nearby in the Pay and Display area (cheo.on.ca). Drivers with an accessible parking permit can use that accessible parking without payment (cheo.on.ca). The hospital’s own garage and parking lot use the same hourly tariff, so a longer appointment can be budgeted against the $15.60 daily maximum (cheo.on.ca).
The Smyth Road campus garage provides 1,050 spaces, reducing the need to search residential streets during busy hospital periods (walterfedy.com). For emergency care, follow hospital and campus signs to the emergency department rather than stopping at the main entrance, and keep the approach clear for emergency vehicles.
Reaching the Hospital by Transit From Ottawa Station
Ottawa station is the nearest listed station, 1.7 km from the hospital, with a 21-minute walk. The station-to-hospital journey provides a practical alternative when a visit is long enough for parking charges to accumulate, particularly for visitors without mobility constraints.
From the station, a bus connection can reduce the walking portion of the trip, while the 21-minute walk remains the stated station-to-hospital route for visitors who prefer to continue on foot.
