Starting today, residents in the Sunshine City can park boat trailers free of charge in the designated launch areas at Centennial Park and Collins Drive with a permit; however, work continues on the Centennial Drive reconstruction project, and the boat launch parking lot isn't expected to be available until later this summer.
Residents can also park along Collins Drive, Rodger Road and MacIsaac Drive, again with an approved Resident Boat Trailer Parking Permit.
Parking without a boat trailer in these areas requires no parking fee.

Visitors will have to pay $10 an hour with a $50 daily cap to park their boat trailers.
