## Quick answer

Green P Carpark 194 has 270 spaces plus 20 designated oversized trailer stalls beside the launch ramps; arrive before 8:00 AM on peak summer weekends because all spaces are first-come, first-served.

## Detailed answer

Boat trailer parking at Ashbridges Bay Boat Launch is managed within Green P Carpark 194 (Ashbridge's Bay Park Road, Toronto), the primary 270-space surface lot serving the ramp at 1561 Lake Shore Boulevard East. Within that lot, the City of Toronto maintains approximately 20 designated oversized trailer stalls reserved for vehicles towing boats or personal watercraft. These stalls are located on the launch-adjacent rows closest to the dual concrete ramps—typically the eastern/northern perimeter of Carpark 194—and are marked with oversized-trailer or boat-trailer signage. They are not pre-bookable; allocation is first-come, first-served during seasonal enforcement from May 1 through October 31. Green P rates apply at $1.25 per half hour per paid stall, with a daily maximum of $9.00 per stall; a tow vehicle plus trailer often occupies two stalls, doubling the metered cost. Overnight parking is prohibited from 12:00 AM to 6:00 AM. On peak summer weekends (June through August), the full 270-space lot—including all 20 trailer stalls—can reach capacity by 9:00–11:00 AM when beach, park, and boating traffic overlap. When Carpark 194 is full, Toronto Parks staff may direct trailers to a temporary staging area west of the main lot near the Woodbine Beach volleyball courts; do not block Lake Shore Boulevard East or the Martin Goodman Trail. Practical strategies: arrive before 6:00–8:00 AM on long weekends, launch promptly and relocate the tow vehicle if asked, confirm current rates on the Green P app, and call +1 (416) 392-0239 for same-day conditions.
