mrspratley Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I'm surprised this hasn't come up for discussion? Lacombe County to launch paid parking program at beach and boat launches Mar 6, 2022 | 2:25 PM Visitors to Sandy Point Beach, Sandy Point Boat Launch, and Sunbreaker Cove Boat Launch in Lacombe County will soon be required to pay for parking. Effective May 1, 2022, Lacombe County is launching what officials describe as a quick and easy payment system for parking through HotSpot Parking Inc. “With an increasing amount of people accessing the lake via the beach and boat launches, Lacombe County felt it was the time to implement a payment system for users of these amenities. This will assist with the maintenance and upkeep of these facilities, as well as help provide for future needs,” said Tim Timmons, County Manager for Lacombe County. “HotSpot Parking will be convenient for users and will ensure safe, maintained lake access for all users to enjoy.” Paid parking will be required for anyone to park at the following rates: Sandy Point Beach parking lot ($3/hour or $15 for the day) Sandy Point and Sunbreaker Cove Boat Launches $20/day to launch and park $10 to launch only $10 for additional vehicle parking only with no trailer For 2022, Lacombe County Community Peace Officers and contracted Commissionaires will use a combination of education and parking violation tags to enforce these new requirements. Lacombe County will be setting up signage in all parking lots to direct users to use their mobile devices to pay for parking with HotSpot Parking Inc. http://www.outdoorsmenforum.ca/images/buttons/quote.gif 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDoctor Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 With those prices they should have a security patrol and launch your boat for you. Is this a new boat launch they are trying to pay for or the existing launch used as a tax target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

virginvinset Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 I'm surprised this hasn't been discussed either! Implementing paid parking at Sandy Point Beach, Sandy Point Boat Launch, and Sunbreaker Cove Boat Launch seems like a practical move to fund maintenance and future improvements. The rates seem reasonable, and the HotSpot Parking app should make the payment process straightforward. It's good to see they plan to combine education and enforcement to ease the transition.

It's very cool that there is such an opportunity, but I don't know if I'll get in this year, because I'm currently studying. It's good that there is support https://www.masterpapers.com/ otherwise I wouldn't have managed at all I'm surprised this hasn't been discussed either!
