Parking at Dunedin Hospital on Great King Street
The hospital’s own parking is reserved for outpatients, with upper concourse access from Great King Street and lower concourse access from Cumberland Street (healthnz.govt.nz).
The new outpatient building has 12 short-stay parks beside the Cumberland Street entrance for patient pick-ups and drop-offs, plus 6 mobility parking spaces (healthnz.govt.nz). Drivers taking a patient to an appointment can use the short-stay area before moving the vehicle to a longer-stay space nearby.
Arriving for Appointments and Emergency Care
The Cumberland Street entrance is the practical arrival point for patient pick-ups and drop-offs at the new outpatient building, where the 12 short-stay parks are located (healthnz.govt.nz).
Upper concourse parking is entered from Great King Street, while lower concourse parking is entered from Cumberland Street (healthnz.govt.nz). The 6 mobility spaces near the new outpatient building provide a closer option for eligible users (healthnz.govt.nz).
The hospital is 650 m from Dunedin centre, so central-city traffic can add to the time needed for an appointment arrival.
Street Parking Around the Hospital and Dunedin Centre
A street space can therefore suit a short appointment, but a long visit needs a location whose permitted stay matches the appointment length.
Great King Street and Cumberland Street are the key approach streets for the hospital’s concourse and outpatient access (healthnz.govt.nz). Drivers looking for kerbside parking should keep the entrance routes clear, particularly around patient drop-offs and mobility access.
The council’s city parking information covers parking for vehicles and motorcycles across Ōtepoti Dunedin (dunedin.govt.nz). This makes the surrounding central-city supply useful as a backup when hospital spaces are occupied, provided the signed restriction allows the intended stay.
Parksy Spaces Within Walking Distance of the Hospital
A Hanover Street space is 160 m away, a few minutes on foot, and costs $3 an hour. It is a straightforward option for a short appointment or a visitor who wants to avoid relying on the hospital’s outpatient allocation.
The 101 Great King Street space is 270 m away at $2.50 an hour, while the outdoor parking lot in Dunedin Central is 280 m away at $2.25 an hour. Both suit several hours better than repeated short stops, with the outdoor lot offering the lower hourly price.
For longer visits or regular shifts, the commercial garage 290 m away costs $285 a month, and the Great Location garage 600 m away costs $70 a week. The monthly garage is suited to frequent workers, while the weekly option provides a longer-term alternative for shift patterns.
Walking and Public Transport to the Hospital
The hospital is 650 m from Dunedin centre, making the final walk practical for visitors who leave a car in the central area. Great King Street and Cumberland Street are the hospital access streets identified for the upper and lower concourses (healthnz.govt.nz).
Drivers combining parking with a public-transport journey can use a nearby Parksy space and complete the approach on foot, with the 160 m Hanover Street space the closest listed option.
