Parking

Increased parking fines around lakefront parks effective August 21

In an effort to control overcrowding, town staff are posting signs on certain streets surrounding lakefront parks identifying them as increased fine zones. 

Enforcement starts August 21 until October 31, 2020, with fines set at $100. Municipal enforcement staff will patrol these areas regularly.

Park parking lots remain open, but once full, visitors are encouraged to come back another time. 

As we continue under emergency orders, these regulations can help encourage physical distancing and limit the risk of spreading COVID-19.

Review our news release for more information. 

Paid parking and time limits resume effective August 4

Paid parking will resume in all municipal parking lots and metered and pay-by-plate machines in Downtown Oakville, Kerr Village and Bronte Village beginning Tuesday, August 4, with the exception of the Church Street Parkade in Downtown Oakville, which will be open to permit holders only until alternate payment methods can be implemented. 

Parking is free after 6 p.m. and on Sundays and holidays in all three business improvement areas. In Downtown Oakville, parking is also free on Saturdays for the remainder of the year, during the Lakeshore Road reconstruction project.

Enforcement of three-hour time limits for residential on-street parking will also resume beginning August 4.

Welcome back offer

To welcome residents back to our stores and restaurants and encourage contactless, cashless pay, the town is offering first-time users of the HONK mobile parking app up to $5 toward their parking, using the promo code OAK2020 in all three business improvement areas, through to the end of the year. In Downtown Oakville, the first hour of each visit is free when using the promo code DOWNTOWN on the HONK app. Residents will also notice the town has established temporary free curb-side pick up spaces for quick stops in all three shopping areas.
