Step 2 – Learn about our locations & check availability
Rack availability changes quickly and what appears to be an open booking online may have requests pending.
-
We have boat racks at both South Glenmore Park and Heritage Park. Choose the location you'd like to book before checking availability.
-
We have racks for different sized boats View the available options.
Instructions for using the availablility tool
- Search for a Single day - e.g., Start Date Aug. 1 and End Date Aug. 1 - we book the stalls for the whole season so if the stall is available for a single day it is available for the season.
- There is only 1 hour available to search so Start time should be 12:00 p.m. and End Time should be 1:00 p.m. – again if it is available for the hour it is available for the season.
- As you are searching a Single day you can SKIP the Day of the week.
- In the Venue Box choose a Single Location if two are available. This narrows it to ONE location and will provide more accurate results. If no results appear, try the other location.
- Once you have some suitable available options go to the top of the page to the “Request Space” section and click the link to submit an application.
Step 3 - Review rules and regulations
- Boat stalls/racks are for boat storage only.
- Stickers must be picked up at Southland Leisure Centre located at 2000 Southland Drive S.W. Please check the hours of operation beforehand.
