Unfortunately, car parking at Leeds Children’s Hospital can be really challenging due to limited spaces.
This is something we aim to improve dramatically in our new Leeds Children’s Hospital. If at all possible we recommend making use of our city centre location and excellent public transport links.
Travelling by car
There is a multi-storey car park located on the LGI site, however spaces are limited. It has 1,300 spaces for patients, visitors and staff and operates a ‘pay as you leave’ system – on entering the car park you will need to take a ticket.
The car park is open Monday to Sunday 6am to 12 midnight.
LGI Parking Charges
| Up to 1hr | Up to 2hrs | Up to 3hrs | Up to 4hrs | Up to 5hrs | Up to 6hrs | Up to 7hrs | Up to 24hrs |

Exemptions
We try to be as fair as possible to everyone and have a number of groups who are exempt from paying car parking charges. These include people receiving cancer treatment and people with a family member who is critically ill.
Car parking concessions are applied to those staying overnight with children after 5 days of overnight stay in hospital. The ward staff will authorise this concession upon request. In addition, drivers with disabled parking badges are exempt from paying charges. Our volunteers can be reimbursed and should speak to their staff champion or the volunteering team.
Disabled car parking
Free car parking is available at all our hospitals for blue permit holders in designated marked spaces. If designated spaces are full, you can park in any of the visitor car parks. In order to provide free access for ambulances, emergency vehicles and hospital delivery vehicles, we would ask that you do not park on double yellow lines, in ambulance bays or loading/delivery bays.
