Parking at Ryde Hospital is free, according to the NSW Health hospital parking app as of Sunday 8 November 2026. The app lists the rate as free, the concession rate as free, and the car park as open 24 hours. This guide sets out where the car parks are, how steep the walk from the stations is, and which buses stop at the door.
Is parking free at Ryde Hospital?
Yes, on the app’s account. Its public rates line reads “Car park is free”, and both the parking and concession entries are marked free. The app’s general note that reduced fees are available at every NSW public hospital “where fees apply” does not come into play here.
| Item | What the app lists |
|---|---|
| Opening hours | Open 24 hours |
| Public rate | Free |
| Concession rate | Free |
| Car park phone number | (02) 9858 7888 |
| Hospital main number | (02) 9858 7888 |
The app gives the hospital’s address as Denistone Road, Eastwood NSW 2122, and lists no hourly rate, daily maximum or ticket price, because it describes both the public rate and the concession rate as free. It describes the 600 m walk from Denistone station as pleasant but says it includes some steep hills, while the walk from Eastwood station is twice the distance over a gentler gradient.
Fees can change. The app is a state-wide listing, so if you are making a long trip, check the hospital on (02) 9858 7888 before you leave.
Which car park should I use?
The app lists two car parks:
| Car park | How to reach it | Notes from the app |
|---|---|---|
| Main car park | Via Denistone Road | Covered and uncovered parking spaces |
| The other large car park | Via Fourth Avenue | In the basement of the Graythwaite Rehabilitation Centre |
The app does not say how many spaces either car park has, and gives no height limit for the covered or basement spaces.
How do I get there by bus or train?
The app says Denistone and Eastwood stations are both within walking distance of the hospital. It describes the walk in some detail: the 600 m walk from Denistone station includes some steep hills, while the walk from Eastwood station is twice the distance over a gentler gradient.
| Way to arrive | What the app says |
|---|---|
| Bus 515 or X15 | Stops on Denistone Road, directly outside the main entrance |
| Walk from Denistone station | 600 m, with some steep hills |
| Walk from Eastwood station | Twice the distance, over a gentler gradient |
| Taxi | A taxi rank is on Denistone Road; a free dedicated phone to call a taxi is in the main entrance of the hospital |
For trip times and fares, the app points to the Transport for NSW website and the information line, 131 500, and our guide to Opal fares and how to pay covers what a trip costs. The app also lists the Taxi Transport Subsidy Scheme, with a link to the Service NSW page.
Where can I read more?
The hospital publishes a Parking and Transport Information Accessibility Guide, which the app links to as a PDF on the Northern Sydney Local Health District website. The app itself gives no accessible parking or drop-off detail. The app also lists cycling maps through the Ride the City website.
