Paid Parking and Reservations
Learn about paid parking at Beachway and LaSalle Park Boat Launch, Beachway parking exemptions for Halton residents and electric vehicle charging fees in Burlington.
Beachway Park
During the summer, if you'd like to park at Beachway Park, you must pay for parking on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays and holiday Mondays.
You can sign up for our news and notices for information on when payment is needed. The rate is $2.50 per hour or a flat daily rate of $20 starting the long weekend in May until the last weekend in September.
How to pay
Make sure you park in a legal, designated parking spot and obey all parking rules and bylaws. Otherwise, you will be ticketed or towed at the owner's expense.
To pay, scan the QR code at a park payment sign with your smartphone or download the HONK mobile app. You can then choose the length of your stay and pay or top up your parking right from your phone.
There is a $0.35 transaction fee for each payment. You don't need a dashboard ticket - each payment is linked to your license plate number.
Beachway Park parking exemptions
If you are a Halton Region resident, you are allowed up to 10 free days of parking in the Beachway parking lots from May to September each year. Log into your Parking Portal and complete a Beachway Exemption once you get to the beach and have a legal parking spot.
- This exemption waives the parking fee for the day but does not guarantee you a spot. Once you have used your 10 days of parking exemptions, you must pay for parking.
- You must have an account to apply for a parking exemption.
If the lots are full
If the lots are full, please look for other parking. Parking is free in downtown Burlington on weekends and holidays. You can also use the drop-off zone, park elsewhere and meet your group at the beach. Consider walking, cycling or taking Burlington Transit.
Illegally parked vehicles will be issued tickets and/or towed. Drivers are reminded not to park illegally, especially on Lakeshore Road shoulders and the grass boulevard over the pipeline as they will be towed.
LaSalle Park Boat Launch
If you'd like to park your boat trailer at the LaSalle Park Boat Launch in the LaSalle Park Community Marina or upper parking lot, you must pay a trailer parking fee. Fees are required from dawn to dusk seven days a week including holidays. The daily flat rate is $20.
How to pay
To pay, scan the QR code at a park payment sign with your smartphone or download the HONK mobile app. You can then securely pay directly from your phone. With the app, you can search for a parking spot before you arrive.
There is a $0.35 transaction fee for each payment. Dashboard tickets are not needed, as each payment is linked to your trailer licence plate number.
