Parking changes coming to Innisfil Beach Park
Take note if you use the boat launch there.....
The cost of parking at Innisfil Beach Park is going up. However, residents will continue to be able to park for free with a valid 2016 resident sticker available from the town.
Earlier this week, Innisfil council approved staff's recommendations to increase the parking rates within the park to $5 per hour to a maximum of $35 per day during the summer season (May 1 to Sept. 30), and $25 maximum during the off-season.
In addition, a new charge of $10 for non-resident use of the boat launch is being introduced, and buses coming into the park will be asked for $10 per person, with children under 10 free.
The report also recommended designating parking lots 'D' and 'G' for permanent resident parking only – a total of 120 parking spaces, 22 more than previously provided.

Not that I use the place but I don't like hearing about things like this. being implemented. Why do so many see the need to make money or restrict the use of our natural resources. What ever happened to sharing the wealth, now more than ever it's explode the wealth/resource.
All about the money.

Wow expensive. Part of the reason I fish and camp on crown land.

Good way to kill the income from tourism.
Note to self: go spend money elsewhere this summer

The cost of maintenance and cleanup of the lots has to be covered somehow. Not many business's in the area to reap rewards of any visitor dollars. I guess people who live there are tired of people showing up for a day near the water , leaving a mess, not spending any money in the area , then taking off back home at the end of the day. Or.... they could be just money hungry local elitists, who want the park for their own personal use. Could be either or both.

Has too much time on their hands
All that matter, it's free for the locals. It's going to be a lot more pleasant for them, and if you know someone's that leave there ask for a sticker.

I think that is what they want, you not there, or the prices would be more reasonable.

Ya sounds just great (sarcasm) let me add.....................
We all need to limit the amount of people in our community.
That's the way it should be, only local residents should be given easy access to streams, rivers, lakes and parks, all others should pay for this privilege. We should take it one step further and make only local residents pay for healthcare too....

They probably found, when they did their study, that a large percentage of the boat launch users were visitors. It makes sense to pass on a 'User Fee' to help share some of the maintenance costs that the locals are paying thru taxation.
