Car parking spaces for patients
Please note, restrictions on these spaces will be in operation from 9am to 6pm each and every day. They will be clearly marked as such and colleagues parking here during these times will be asked to move.
Why now? We are starting to see increase numbers within our emergency department at Doncaster Royal Infirmary. With the lessening of visiting restrictions, more people are coming to site – while we encourage our public to use our Park and Ride service, some will have access and mobility issues and we must create dedicated car parking space for them.
Alternative places to leave your car:
Please note that Doncaster Council has tightened the parking enforcement around Doncaster Royal Infirmary.
The bays along the front of the DRI are restricted to a 3 hour limit with no return for four hours. This is in force at all times, including weekends and bank holidays.
The area covered by this enforcement starts from the ED exit route, along to the west of Armthorpe Road reaching level with the Armthorpe Lane junction.
Note, the Cumberland is not free.
If parking off-site, please respect our neighbours when leaving your vehicle.
You can also make use of the Park and Ride service. The journey takes around five minutes. There are two pick-up points – one outside the Trust’s Gate 4 entrance (nearby Costa Coffee) on Armthorpe Road, and the other on Thorne Road, between the Women’s and Children’s Hospital and Fracture Clinic. The service runs Monday to Friday (excluding Bank Holidays) between 5.50am and 10.00pm.
The timetable can be found here.
Finally, if you park at the Park and Ride, weather and time permitting, it is around a 15 minute walk to site. Completed at a moderate pace, this journey as a round-trip will burn around 100 calories. Here is a suggested walking route:
