Facility Overview
The P4 Parking Structure at Loma Linda University Health is a modern, multi-level dedicated parking garage located along Barton Road in Loma Linda, California. Designed specifically to serve medical campus visitors, clinic outpatients, and emergency department arrivals, this multi-story facility offers expansive covered parking decks that protect vehicles from Southern California heat. Standard passenger sedans, crossovers, minivans, and mid-to-large sport utility vehicles fit comfortably within the designated stalls and drive aisles. Clear overhead signage displays standard garage clearance heights (typically around 7 feet to 8 feet 2 inches on lower levels), so drivers of lifted trucks, camper vans, or commercial high-roof vans should verify posted clearance limits at the entrance gates or utilize adjacent open-air surface lots.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
P4 Parking occupies a central position directly across from and adjacent to the core Loma Linda University Medical Center healthcare complex. Within immediate walking distance are several premier clinical, academic, and community landmarks:
- Loma Linda University Medical Center & Adult Hospital: Situated directly opposite or across pedestrian crossings on Barton Road (1 to 3 minutes walk).
- Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital & Pediatric ER: Immediate walking access for emergency visits and pediatric consultations.
- Faculty Medical Clinics (FMC): Direct pedestrian walkway connectivity for scheduled outpatient appointments.
- Loma Linda University Campus: Academic buildings, the Del E. Webb Memorial Library, and campus grounds within a 5 to 10-minute walk.
- Barton Road Commercial Strip: Local pharmacies, cafes, quick-serve diners, and healthcare offices within a 5-minute stroll.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress into P4 Parking is streamlined via dedicated driveways off Barton Road, including a direct entrance easily accessible from the eastbound lanes, as well as access roads connecting the western perimeter of the clinical complex. Directional signage directs traffic smoothly into multi-lane entry points. Exiting back onto Barton Road and Anderson Street is facilitated by signalized intersections, though peak hospital shift changes (early mornings and late afternoons) can bring moderate intersection queueing. For regional drivers, Interstate 10 (San Bernardino Freeway) is just 1.5 miles to the north via Anderson Street or Mountain View Avenue, offering rapid access across the Inland Empire. Regional transit riders can connect via Omnitrans bus routes operating regular stops along Barton Road and Anderson Street, connecting Loma Linda with San Bernardino, Redlands, and the San Bernardino Transit Center.

Visitor & Driver Tips
When arriving for an emergency room visit, drop off your passenger directly at the ER patient drop-off circle first before looping into the P4 parking structure across Barton Road. Keep note of the specific level and aisle letter where you parked, as multi-level garages can look identical across floors. Peak appointment volume occurs between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM on weekdays; arriving 15 to 20 minutes prior to your clinic appointment will allow ample time to locate an available space on the upper levels and walk across the crosswalk or pedestrian bridges.
