More than 17 provincial parks are open for day trips.

Starting June 7, Ontario Parks will be offering a new service for day use; at 17 parks, visitors will be able to book their daily vehicle permit up to 5 days in advance of arrival.

This new permit booking system, piloting at popular parks, will allow visitors to guarantee their day use spot. Permits can be obtained online or by phone at 1-888-ONT-PARK (1-888-668-7275).

Advance day use bookings will help visitors plan their trip ahead of time with greater certainty. As provincial parks become more popular, this service will help prevent overcrowding and line ups, and ensure a better visitor experience.

This program is attractively priced – cheaper than the parking fee in the Beachway – assuming you can find a parking spot.

We’re counting on people to be responsible when enjoying our parks. Continue to follow public health advice including practicing physical distancing by keeping at least two metres from others, wearing a face covering where required, when physical distancing may be a challenge or not possible and when entering indoor public spaces, and wash your hands regularly with soap and water or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available. Postpone your visit if you have any symptoms of COVID-19 or have been asked to isolate.
