Parksy lists a commercial lot 0.8 miles from the hospital at $15 a day, plus a driveway-style space at 370 E. Town Street 0.8 miles away for $15 an hour. The daily lot is the more practical choice for a long appointment, inpatient visit, or hospital shift because the listed rate is for a full day rather than an hourly stay.
