Port Dalhousie Public Parking Lot

This is the worst place you can find for parking.If I can give 0 stars I will do it.Non of the parking machines are working, they don’t accept credit cards and the StCatherines city parking services are aware of it.The machines need to be updated to accept the new security features introduced by the credit card companies.I just talked to them they are aware of it, but they don’t do the updates so they can keep collecting fines.Government inefficiently at it best!!!The parking officer put a paper sign after give tickets to everyone in the parking lot “Only coins”. Get out of here.. where is the technology? where us the customer convenience? Hire a developer and fix the freaking machines.This should be illegal.Go visit other places where they treat you fairly.

Get the pass , and come all the time !!Beautiful Sunset in July !!

No longer free parking

There’s a QR code you can scan to pay online! We did that to avoid the line up at the pay station and it notifies you when it’s about to expire. Only $3 an hour

This parking lot became a scammer. Visited there a few times before 2020 and parking is free. Then I was fined this week. I didn't realize we have to pay now and hardly I can see any sign to ask me pay when I park. This parking lot becomes so busy now. Covid 19 makes us have to pay for every public things now. Good job Ontario.

This place is just amazing

Relatively small parking lot for all the people who look to visit Lakeside Park, and it can take a while to find a spot on nice days. Now that it is no longer free, you have to visit a pay machine (which doesn't accept debit or Visa), which are incredibly slow. Alternatively you can pay online, but then get charged a convenience fee". Personally I have no problem with paying to support local infrastructure

Paid parking but everyone found it confusing as a system. Immediate beachfront access down a short path, found the beach smaller than expected and very shallow/lots of sand bars

Free parking in Dalhousie. 5 min walk to Balzac's and the downtown shops. Toilets during the summer. Beach access with great Lake Ontario views. Visited in January and lot was open.

Inconvenient parking meters. It doesn’t accept debit or visa. Requires exact change. In this day and age people carry very little change and to add insult to injury it’s a 3hr parking only.
