Walkerton and Kincardine Gate Installation Go-Live & Parking Update
Over the last several weeks, our Facilities and IT teams have been focusing their efforts on our parking gate replacement project at the Kincardine and Walkerton sites. The new system comes with upgraded features, including new indoor pay stations and debit/credit card payment with a contactless (tap) option. The parking fee for patients and visitors will continue to be $3.00 per exit, and we are excited to announce the introduction of our new 10-day and 30-day visitor passes that can be purchased in advance at a discounted rate. The go-live date for the new parking gates in Walkerton and Kincardine will be Tuesday, August 1, 2023 at 09:00 AM.

To ensure paramedic services can access our emergency departments, please do not block our emergency department entrances with your vehicle.
Debit/Credit Pay Station Locations

For anyone paying per exit, debit/ credit payments can be made directly at either parking gate or inside the building at the parking pay stations.
Indoor parking pay stations will be located at both the Main/ Family Health Team entrance, and at the Emergency Department entrance.
Kincardine
For anyone paying per exit, debit/ credit payments can be made directly at either parking gate or inside the building at the parking pay stations.
Indoor parking pay stations will be in the Main entrance of the Hospital as well as the main Kincardine Family Health Team Clinic entrance.
Payment Methods
VISA, MasterCard, and Interac Debit cards are the only payment methods accepted at the pay stations and gate exits. With the installation of the new gates there will no longer be coin accepted at the exit gates or at the pay stations.
If patients or visitors need to use cash as payment, this can be done at the Registration desk during staffed Registration hours (24/7 in Walkerton, 0800-1800 in Kincardine).
With the installation of the new gates, the 30-minute free parking will be eliminated moving forward as of August 1, 2023. As noted above, drop-off zones are available at the Main entrances, Family Health Team Entrances, and Emergency Department entrances.
All parking revenue helps to support the maintenance of our parking lots and patient services at our hospitals. Thank you.
