Hospital Parking on Longcross Street
Patients and visitors can park free of charge for up to 4 hours at the hospital (cavuhb.nhs.wales). The multi-storey car park is operated by Vinci, with reduced rates available for parents and carers from the car park office on the ground floor (bipcaf.gig.cymru).
Some drop-off zones are outside the children's hospital, while the multi-storey car park provides the main parking alternative after drop-off (cavuhb.nhs.wales). From the multi-storey car park, an undercover pathway crosses the road towards the hospital (uhwchildren.com).
Arriving for Appointments at the Hospital
Use one of the drop-off zones outside the children's hospital for a short arrival before moving the vehicle to the multi-storey car park (cavuhb.nhs.wales). This arrangement keeps the entrance clear for patients who need help getting inside.
Visitors approaching the main hospital from the multi-storey car park should cross the road to the undercover pathway, then turn right before the Concourse entrance and use the blue staircase (uhwchildren.com). The route is useful when a child or accompanying adult needs a more direct approach from the car park.
