During this period, all vehicles must display a valid parking permit or pay the daily fee of $15.00 CAD (plus applicable taxes) via the Pay-and-Display machines or the ParkToronto mobile app. The maximum permitted stay is 12 hours per day, and overnight parking is strictly prohibited. Enforcement officers patrol the lot regularly, issuing fines of $30.00 CAD for non-payment and $50.00 CAD for exceeding the time limit. Outside of the enforcement window (November 1st to April 30th), parking is free and unrestricted, though the lot remains open for winter boat launch access. The seasonal schedule aligns with peak boating and fishing activity on Lake Ontario, ensuring fair turnover for all users. In 2023, over 12,000 parking transactions were recorded during the enforcement period, reflecting high demand. Visitors are advised to arrive early on weekends, as the lot fills by 9:00 AM on peak days. Payment machines accept credit cards, debit cards, and coins, but do not provide change. For annual permit holders, a seasonal pass is available for $150.00 CAD, valid for unlimited daily entries within the enforcement period. Always check posted signage for real-time updates, as enforcement hours may extend on holidays.","related_ids":["ashbridges-seasonal-parking-enforcement-dates"],"last_verified":"2026-06-18","authority":"https://ashbridgesbayboatlaunch.com","url":"https://ashbridgesbayboatlaunch.com/en/knowledge/ashbridges-seasonal-parking-enforcement-dates","markdown_url":"https://ashbridgesbayboatlaunch.com/api/knowledge/ashbridges-seasonal-parking-enforcement-dates?format=md&lang=en"}
