{"version":"2.6","id":"ashbridges-peak-season-lot-fullness-alternatives","question":"What are the parking alternatives when the Ashbridges Bay Boat Launch main lot is full during summer peak times or fireworks events?","answer":"When the main lot is full, use nearby private lots like 1675 Lake Shore Blvd E. ($20 to $40/day) or Woodbine Beach Park lots, or take the TTC 92 Woodbine South bus.","answer_detail":"During the busy summer months and especially on fireworks event days, the main Ashbridges Bay Boat Launch parking lot frequently reaches its maximum capacity by 8:00 AM. Once full, the Toronto Police Service strictly enforces no-parking zones along Lake Shore Boulevard East, and illegally parked vehicles will be swiftly ticketed and towed. For overflow parking, nearby private lots are your best alternative. The most reliable commercial lot is located at 1675 Lake Shore Blvd E., which charges a premium event rate ranging from $20 to $40 per day depending on the specific event and demand. Another viable option is the Woodbine Beach Park parking lot, situated approximately 1.5 kilometers west of the launch; however, this lot also fills up rapidly on weekends. If you are launching a boat, be aware that private lots may lack oversized trailer spaces, so arriving before 7:00 AM is highly recommended. Alternatively, transit is an excellent choice to bypass parking headaches entirely. The TTC 92 Woodbine South bus runs directly to Ashbridges Bay from Woodbine Station, with increased frequency on summer weekends and an approximate travel time of 10 minutes. If you must drive but the main lot is closed, consider parking near Woodbine Station for about $7.00 per day and taking the bus down to the launch.","related_ids":["ashbridges-peak-season-lot-fullness-alternatives"],"last_verified":"2026-06-28","authority":"https://ashbridgesbayboatlaunch.com","url":"https://ashbridgesbayboatlaunch.com/en/knowledge/ashbridges-peak-season-lot-fullness-alternatives","markdown_url":"https://ashbridgesbayboatlaunch.com/api/knowledge/ashbridges-peak-season-lot-fullness-alternatives?format=md&lang=en"}
