Stout Field Parking to close
Plenty of spaces are available for patients at Lafayette Road location, and the free shuttle is less than a 10 minute ride.
That “P” word: parking. Large organizations worldwide have parking challenges. There are lots of creative solutions - many of them simply patches - which organizations employ to meet the challenges.
The Indianapolis VA Medical Center is meeting these challenges head on.
In Sept of 2010, we borrowed some parking spaces at Stout Field, and began shuttling both employees and patients from that location and from another parking lot on Cold Spring Road. Since then, we nearly doubled our offsite parking spaces when we added our Lafayette Road location.
On October 1, employee/patient parking will no longer be available at the Stout Field location. There are plenty of spaces at both Cold Spring Road and Lafayette Road.
Patients are encouraged to view this map to determine which offsite location would work best for them. Our modern shuttle service, which includes handicap accessibility, is free to patients. Some commuters report that it takes far less time to park at one of these locations that to find parking on the medical center campus. We encourage patients to allow at least one half hour prior to the check-in time of their appointment.
As we work through parking challenges, the goal of the Indianapolis VA Medical Center will be to ensure great care for YOU, our Hoosier Heroes, and do our best to communicate with you. Please be patient as we work through this time. Let us know how we are doing.
