The Parks department has installed additional racks in more waterfront parks in recent years bringing the total number of canoe, kayak and SUP spaces in all locations to over 200. Residents can rent canoe, kayak and SUP storage rack space for the season by booking online.

Spaces are available on a first come, first served basis and storage spaces typically sell out quickly.
