Paid Parking

Great News! We’re extending free parking at all of our Conservation Areas. In lieu of parking fees, we’re asking park goers to try our Tip Tap fundraiser when they visit Scanlon CreekThornton BalesRogers Reservoir, and Beaver River Wetlands Conservation Areas. Tip Tap Pay is an easy way to give $5, $10 or $20 to help us care for and improve the our Conservation Areas. When you see this sign along the trails, be sure to tap your phone or card – it’s a simple way to donate and help care for our greenspace. Donations go directly to the Lake Simcoe Conservation Foundation. Thank you for donating to a healthier Lake Simcoe watershed.​
