Lakeside Park Marina – West Harbour Wall

Docking Terms & Conditions

By completing your reservation and payment, you agree to the following Terms & Conditions:

⸻

1. Waiver of Liability

Lakeside Park Marina (LPM) does not provide insurance coverage for vessels. Docking fees do not include protection for loss or damage due to fire, theft, accident, weather, or other causes. Docking is at your own risk.

By docking at the West Harbour Wall, you agree to release, indemnify, and hold harmless LPM, its staff, operators, and representatives from any claims, damages, injuries, or losses—including those arising from negligence.

Dock staff are not responsible for docking, navigating, or maneuvering your vessel. It is the vessel operator’s sole responsibility to determine whether the available or recommended docking location is appropriate and safe.

⸻

2. Insurance Requirement

All vessels must carry valid insurance with a minimum of $1,000,000 in third-party liability coverage. Insurance must remain active for the duration of your stay.

⸻

3. Agreement to Terms

These Terms & Conditions apply to all persons using docking areas at the West Harbour Wall. Payment of docking fees constitutes acceptance of these Terms.

4. Use of Docking Area

• Docking is permitted for recreational use only. Commercial activity (charters, rentals, tours, etc.) is not allowed without written approval from LPM.

• Vessels must remain within their assigned docking boundaries. If the vessel is longer than declared, charges will be adjusted based on the true overall length, and relocation may be required.

• A minimum two-point tie is required. Spring lines are recommended. Mooring lines must be secure, non-chafed, and sized appropriately.

• If mooring lines or onboard equipment are deemed unsafe, staff reserves the right to refuse docking.

⸻

5. Conduct Expectations

All owners, guests, and crew must act respectfully and safely. Disruptive or unsafe behavior may result in immediate removal from the West Harbour Wall and cancellation of docking access without refund.

Absolutely no alcohol is permitted on the pier or public areas. Alcohol may only be consumed on board your own vessel while complying with all applicable laws and regulations.

LPM reserves the right to amend these rules at any time. Changes take effect when posted or communicated by staff.

⸻

6. Speed & Safety

• Speed Limit: Vessels must operate at 6 knots or less – NO WAKE when approaching, departing, or near the West Harbour Wall.

• Boarding Rights: LPM reserves the right to board any vessel in the event of an emergency or hazard to others, the environment, or property.

• Electrical Hookup: All power pedestals are GFCI-protected. If a vessel trips the circuit, staff may deny access to shore power. Prepaid power fees will be refunded, but docking fees are still payable.

⸻

7. Environmental Regulations

• No fuel, oil, lubricants, sewage, grey water, or hazardous materials may be discharged into Lake Ontario.

• Waste from refinishing, cleaning, or maintenance must be handled offsite in accordance with environmental laws.

• Refueling your vessel from the dock (e.g., with jerry cans or portable tanks) is strictly prohibited. Any vessel found doing so will have docking privileges immediately revoked without refund.

• All spills must be reported and cleaned up immediately by the vessel owner.
