## Hospital Garage at McMaster University Medical Centre

The hospital’s underground parking garage charges $4.50 for each 30 minutes or less, with a daily maximum of $24. The first 15 minutes are free, which is useful for a quick collection or short appointment (hamiltonhealthsciences.ca).

Hamilton Health Sciences provides parking at its hospitals and centres, with location-specific parking and directions published through its visitor information service (hamiltonhealthsciences.ca). The garage is underground, and resident parking guidance lists a 6'2” height restriction for the underground parking at MUMC (pgme.mcmaster.ca). Drivers using taller vehicles need to account for that clearance before entering.

## Parksy Parking Near the Hospital in Cootes Paradise

The closest listed Parksy option is a lot in Hamilton, ON, 1.1 km away, priced at $3 an hour. Two further lots are 1.4 km away and each costs $1.85 an hour. These hourly spaces suit appointments or visits where the hospital garage’s daily maximum would be a concern.

For longer stays, a monthly space on Main Street West is 2.4 km away and costs $200 a month. An outdoor space at 10 Strathcona Ave is 2.5 km away and costs $70 a month, while a monthly space at 285 Hunter St W is 2.8 km away and costs $120 a month. The monthly options are more suitable for regular staff travel or shift workers than short hospital visits, provided the walk or onward journey fits the visit.

## Street Parking Near 1200 Main Street West

The hospital is at 1200 Main Street West in Cootes Paradise, near Westdale. The closest Parksy spaces are off-street lots, so they avoid the uncertainty of searching residential streets around a hospital visit.

McMaster parking guidance identifies off-campus parking locations for students, staff, faculty and visitors, with parking enquiries directed to parking@mcmaster.ca (parking.mcmaster.ca). Hospital parking information also identifies the underground garage as the relevant facility for MUMC, while resident guidance specifies its 6'2” clearance (pgme.mcmaster.ca). Use a designated space rather than treating nearby residential streets as overflow parking, particularly for a long appointment or work shift.

## Arriving for Appointments and Emergencies

For a planned visit, the underground garage is the hospital’s own parking facility, and the first 15 minutes are free for a brief drop-off or collection (hamiltonhealthsciences.ca). The $24 daily maximum makes the garage the clearest option when a visit may occupy much of the day.

Drivers bringing a patient should allow time for the garage entrance and the underground clearance before arriving. The hospital’s parking and directions service provides location-specific visitor information for Hamilton Health Sciences sites (hamiltonhealthsciences.ca).
