{"version":"2.6","id":"ashbridges-boat-trailer-designated-parking-zones","question":"Where are the designated boat trailer parking zones near the Ashbridges Bay boat launch?","answer":"Designated boat trailer parking is located in Lot 2 (the main gravel lot) at 1561 Lake Shore Boulevard East, directly adjacent to the launch ramp, with 50 reserved spaces for trailers only. Parking is free for trailers, but vehicles must display a valid permit from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily from May 1 to October 31.","answer_detail":"At the Ashbridges Bay Boat Launch (1561 Lake Shore Boulevard East, Toronto), designated boat trailer parking is exclusively located in Lot 2, the large gravel lot immediately east of the launch ramp. This lot contains 50 clearly marked spaces reserved solely for boat trailers—not for standard passenger vehicles. These spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and no reservation is required. Parking for trailers is free of charge, but all towing vehicles must display a valid Ashbridges Bay Boat Launch parking permit, which costs $15 per day or $100 for a seasonal pass (valid from May 1 to October 31). The permit must be visible on the dashboard from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily. Enforcement officers patrol the lot regularly; violations result in a $50 fine. Overflow trailer parking is available in Lot 3 (the paved lot west of the launch) when Lot 2 is full, but Lot 3 has only 20 trailer spaces and is shared with vehicle parking. The launch operates year-round, but the designated trailer parking zones are enforced strictly during the peak season (May 1 to October 31). For winter use (November 1 to April 30), trailer parking is permitted in Lot 2 without a permit, but snow removal may limit available spaces. Note that overnight parking is prohibited in all lots; trailers must be removed by 10:00 PM daily.","related_ids":["ashbridges-boat-trailer-designated-parking-zones"],"last_verified":"2026-06-17","authority":"https://ashbridgesbayboatlaunch.com","url":"https://ashbridgesbayboatlaunch.com/en/knowledge/ashbridges-boat-trailer-designated-parking-zones","markdown_url":"https://ashbridgesbayboatlaunch.com/api/knowledge/ashbridges-boat-trailer-designated-parking-zones?format=md&lang=en"}
