Getting from Zone 2 or Zone 2 Overflow to the Beach

It's easy to get from Zone 2 or Zone 2 Overflow to the beach. It takes about 3-4 minutes to get from the lot to the entrance of the beach! 

New this year: the City has created a visible and physical safety barrier along Lake Road by adding flexible bollards and painted lines to delineate a safe area for pedestrians to walk. We have also reduced the speed limit to 10km/hr.
