Mississauga introduces watercraft launch ramp fees starting May 1

By Announcement, Parks, Ward 1

New fees have been approved for the City’s launch ramps to help fund their operation and maintain orderly procedures.

City services | April 27, 2026

Mississauga City Council has approved changes to the City’s Fees and Charges By-law, introducing new fees to use the City’s three watercraft launch ramps. Starting May 1, 2026, Mississauga residents and visitors will need to pay a one-day, seven-day or seasonal fee to use the launch ramps at Marina Park and Lakefront Promenade. The new fees will help offset the cost for the City to operate and staff the launches, to ensure they are organized and running efficiently.

The City’s launches are used about 8,000 times annually and are busiest on summer weekends. The City has had to increase staffing and security to manage the high demand.

The fees apply to anyone who uses a trailer to launch their watercraft from the ramps. Residents will pay $10 for one day, $40 for seven days or $120 for the full season. Non‑residents will pay $15 for one day, $60 for seven days or $180 for the full season. Paying the seasonal fee allows users to launch their watercraft from the ramps at Marina Park and Lakefront Promenade for the entire season, from when the ramps open in the spring until the fall, weather permitting.

Paying the fee

The fees can be paid online. In-person payment is also available at the City’s marina offices. Marina staff will be on site to explain the new fee, help with mobile payment if needed, and check that the fee has been paid.
