Another parking fee – this time at LaSalle Park – you  pay to park the vehicle you used to tow your boat to the public launch.

The LaSalle Park Community Marina opened the public boat launch on June 1.

The same day the city began charging for parking.

Trucks parked at LaSalle now have to pay for the parking.

New Parking Fees
Anyone parking their boat trailer at the LaSalle Park Community Marina or in the upper parking lot will now be required to pay a trailer parking fee. Trailer parking payments are required seven days a week, including holidays. It is a daily flat rate of $20 for trailer parking; there is no fee to use the public boat launch.

The parking lot has often had traffic flow problems caused by too many trailers and/or improper parking. The new paid parking requirements are intended to create more order in the lots, improve traffic flow and reduce frustrations.

Public ramp – at a time when the water was high and the winter ice had done a lot of damage.

Residents and visitors can use the HonkMobile app or scan the QR code found on signage at the marina to search, pay for, and top-up parking payments directly from their smartphone, tablet or computer.

Dashboard tickets are not required as every payment is linked with a trailer licence plate number.

The Marina has 219 docking spaces and is protected by a floating wave break. The Burlington Sailing and Boating Club (BS&BC) and the Able Sail program offer sailing programs at the Marina. In addition, the City has a public boat launch at the Marina that is protected by the floating wave break.
