Ontario Parks Vehicle Permit

A daily vehicle permit is a great way to explore a provincial park for the day. Bike, hike, swim, picnic and make some magical outdoor memories!

  • Includes entry at any operating provincial park for one vehicle and its passengers.
  • Most permits are valid from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm but can very by park.
  • Enjoy a park in every season. Daily vehicle permits are available year-round - each park has its own operating dates so check ahead to plan your adventure.

Planning a day trip? Daily vehicle registration is available in advance of arrival at over 90 parks. Register your permit in advance online at http://reservations.ontarioparks.com/ to guarantee your spot. At all other parks daily vehicle use is on a first come first served basis upon arrival at he gatehouse.

Ontario Parks recently introduced a new service that allows customers to reserve their day use permit up to 5 days in advance of arrival at several provincial parks. These reservations can be made free of charge with the Commercial day use permit that will be lent out at your library.

Many of the parks included in the program are some of the busiest parks so we recommend visitors make reservations when possible. For the most recent list of participating parks please visit: https://www.ontarioparks.com/dayuse/getapermit

Please note: Vehicle Permit does not guarantee park entry - park capacity limitations will apply. TLPL cannot guarantee that passes will be available for specific dates. Permits are loaned based on current availability.

7-day loan, no renewals, $225 replacement cost.

Daily park entry for one vehicle plus its passengers. Valid January 1, 2025, until December 31 2025.
