Seasonal parking lot rules are enforced from May 1st to October 31st, with fines starting at $50 CAD.","answer_detail":"At the Ashbridges Bay Boat Launch (located at 1561 Lake Shore Boulevard East, Toronto, ON M4L 3W6), overnight parking is strictly prohibited between 12:00 AM (midnight) and 6:00 AM every day of the year. This restriction applies to all vehicles, including trailers and boats, and is enforced by Toronto Police and municipal parking enforcement officers. Violators are subject to a minimum fine of $50 CAD, which can increase to $150 CAD for repeat offenses or if the vehicle obstructs emergency access. Additionally, the facility operates under seasonal parking lot rules that are actively enforced from May 1st to October 31st each year. During this period, parking is limited to a maximum of 4 hours per vehicle per day between 6:00 AM and 12:00 AM, with a daily capacity of 120 parking spots. The seasonal enforcement ensures that boaters and visitors have equitable access to the launch ramp and parking area during peak usage months. Outside of the seasonal window (November 1st to April 30th), parking is permitted without time limits during non-overnight hours, but the overnight ban remains in effect year-round. Failure to comply with either the overnight ban or seasonal time limits results in ticketing and potential towing at the owner's expense.
