Patients and visitors will notice construction activity on our property as we prepare for the building of our new facility. All hospital programs and services are running as normal.

Parking Lot Changes – July 2025

As part of the ongoing Early Works construction for our hospital redevelopment, important changes are happening in our parking areas:

Upper Lot – Visitor Parking Construction (July 16 – Late August)

Starting Wednesday, July 16, construction will begin in the upper visitor lot and is expected to last 5–6 weeks. Work includes:
  • Stormwater line installation
  • Watermain and fire hydrant work
  • New curb installation
  • One-lane access to the upper lot (with traffic control support)

Temporary Visitor Parking & Access

  • During this time, a portion of the lower lot will be open to patients and visitors.
  • Hospital access from the lower lot (staff entrance) will be open to the public from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.
  • Additional security will be on-site to assist and monitor access.
  • Signage and clear pathways will be in place for safe navigation.

We appreciate your cooperation as we prepare for exciting changes on our hospital property. A new parking lot will be in place by the end of the year, helping alleviate ongoing parking challenges.

Parking & Construction Impact 

  • Preliminary construction has started on our front lawn, and walking paths from the lower lot to the upper lot have been removed. The area is fenced off for safety.
  • There will be an increased volume of trucks exiting our main entrance parking lot. Personnel will be on hand to direct traffic and ensure the safe flow of ambulances and other vehicles.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve our facility. Thank you!


Parking Fees

The parking fee at Stevenson Memorial Hospital (SMH) is $10 per day. Parking fees are one of the hospital's main sources of revenue, which are used to maintain parking facilities (such as snow removal, de-icing, and security services) and to support critical needs and essential care at SMH.

In 2016, the government passed mandatory regulations to ensure hospital parking is affordable for patients and visitors. Stevenson continues to follow these policies, and even with the increase from $7 to $10 in 2018, we still have one of the lowest parking fees among hospitals in the region.

Parking Options

Parking is available in the lot adjacent to the emergency entrance off of Fletcher Street. Automated parking meters are installed conveniently throughout the lot, and payment can be made by credit card or cash. Change meters are located on the left side of the Emergency entrance.

  • Daily Pass -  $10
  • Weekly Pass -  $32
  • Monthly Pass -  $66

Free street parking (with a 2-hour limit) is available on Fletcher Street across from Riverdale Park. Patients are also encouraged to use the drop-off area in front of the Emergency entrance if they are arriving by taxi, Uber, or any other transportation service.

Please park only in designated areas and be aware of Heliport restrictions. Vehicles parked in spots indicated with a green "H" must be able to move their vehicles quickly when announced in the case that a helicopter is arriving to airlift patients.
