From mid-June, 22 additional parking spaces will be available at the University Children's Hospital Basel (UKBB), primarily for emergency patients. They will relieve the car park situation around the UKBB and improve its accessibility.
The new car parks on Pestalozzistrasse can be used from mid-June. They are primarily intended for emergency patients and create additional short-term parking spaces in the immediate vicinity of the children's hospital. This will relieve the pressure on the current short-term car parks in front of the emergency ward in particular and improve accessibility to the UKBB in urgent situations.
From 8 June 2026, there will be a signposted stopping ban along Pestalozzistrasse. The car parks will then be marked and subsequently put into operation.
The UKBB rents the car parks from the Canton of Basel-Stadt. Use of the car parks is therefore subject to a charge.
The charges are based on local conditions and amount to CHF 1.50 per hour. Payment can only be made digitally via common parking apps such as «EasyPark» or «ParkingPay» as well as via Twint.
The additional parking spaces will slightly alleviate the car park situation around the UKBB. The measure has already been announced in June 2024 and is part of a longer-term plan to improve the car park situation at the children's hospital.
The next step is to provide additional parking facilities for patients in the Biozentrum car park. The preparations and associated construction work are still ongoing. Use of the car park as a hospital car park is expected to be possible from 2028.
