Parking

Car parking at Causeway Hospital is clearly signposted on arrival. The main car park is situated in front of the main building.

For those who require it, we have a site map for the hospital site.

Please note, if you’re being dropped off at the hospital there’s a 15 minute grace period for drop off/pick up, however you’ll still need to take a ticket on entrance as you’ll need this to exit.

Parking enforcement is in operation at this hospital site.

Traffic management system

Site works are ongoing on a phased basis within the Trust to support the removal of paid parking on the Antrim and Causeway Hospital sites in May 2026.

A range of actions and works have commenced.

Similar to other trusts in Northern Ireland, the Northern Trust along with the new traffic management contractor ‘Parkingeye’, has installed the new traffic management system ‘Automatic Number Plate Recognition’. The ANPR system will help gather car park usage data and information in relation to how our sites are being accessed. This will further support the management, planning and change associated with the removal of paid parking in May 2026.

The installation of new enforcement signage has commenced and will be operational from November 2025.

In addition, Parkingeye will provide the Trust with a parking enforcement service, similar to that in place on the two acute sites.

Parking enforcement is a necessary safety measure to control the number of incidents relating to inappropriate parking in disabled bays, drop off areas, footpaths, service access routes and double yellow lines. This is vital, to ensure that service users, visitors and staff can park safely and appropriately, and to improve the flow of traffic, reduce illegal parking and keep vital routes clear for drop-off zones, ambulances and other emergency vehicles.
