Step 2 – Learn about our locations & check availability
Please be aware that 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. Please 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 – EG: Start Date August 1 and End Date August 1 - we book the racks for the whole season so if the rack 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.
- In the “Search Tags” Box Choose a Single Rack Type and a Single Rack Height – you can hold the control button to choose these 2 options. If you choose 2 types OR 2 heights, you will get NO results as no rack is Upper & Lower etc.
- 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.
