This is my experience. Launch line real long. Payed to launch boat and go to park. While waiting to launch single cars had filled all truck trailer parking. Go to lot across street to park. NO spot available. Go back to nearest lot and talked with older city/parks worker and he move a trailer to achieve a place to park. Go boating for day and return. Walk to my truck to fined bylaw ticketing my truck. I explained to him that I was told to park in this place. All spots had been filled by cars and parks worker had parked me there. He said yes he knows this and laughs and walks away. So he had talked with parks person chose to ticket me anyway. Tickets worth 60.00 dollars. For this reason the city of Oakville will never see my money again. Hamilton Bay front park is way better and have never had issues I had in Oakville. Will avoid Oakville city limits...

As as Sunday July 18, afternoon, I saw about 30% parking spots are vacant, because of the requirement of the pass, and tons of tons of cars just circle around and looking for a spot and many choose to just park there to get a ticket or leave an adult in the car so avoid get a ticket.
Parking enforcement is right there make up nonsense to tell people find other parking place where the empty spot is right there. I understand there should be a fee or permit if parking is scarse resource, but having a pass is not right solution. It is just a poorly managed, poorly designed way to utilize...
