Facility Overview
The Banner Boswell Medical Office Parking facility is located along North 103rd Drive in Sun City, Arizona, serving the vibrant Banner Boswell Medical Center campus. Designed primarily as an expansive, paved open-air surface parking area with strategically placed shade-canopy sections, the facility offers direct, level access to several outpatient medical plazas, physician clinics, and specialized healthcare suites. Because it is an open surface lot rather than an underground or low-clearance multi-story parking deck, it provides virtually unlimited vertical clearance across most spaces, easily accommodating standard passenger sedans, full-size SUVs, extended-cab pickup trucks, and high-roof wheelchair-accessible conversion vans without height restrictions.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a smooth visit, arrive at least 15 to 20 minutes before scheduled appointments, especially during peak morning clinic hours between 8:30 AM and 11:30 AM when spaces closest to clinic doors fill quickly. In the summer months, seek out covered parking bays or bring a windshield sunshade to protect your vehicle interior from the desert heat. If dropping off someone with limited mobility, utilize the covered front entrance drive-up lane before parking to minimize walking distance.
