Re: Location

Sold alll my power boats several years ago.

Have a couple of electrics left but they are in dry dock for a while.
Slow speed scale boats run somewhere near the Scarborough Civic Center.
Not big enough for gas or noise. Right next to an apartment building.

Don't know any place for power boats.
You could try Darlington Provincial Park but it would cost you to get in every time you went.

You would also need permission to do it from the park superintendent.

Good luck on your search.

Re: Location

Has anyone tried at Queens Quay in T.O.?
I know there is a skating rink / pool there.

I too am looking for another place to run. Currently all I have is a pool at Spencer Smith park in Burlington.

Hey guys,

Check out the pond on Reesor Rd. south of Hwy#7 it's in the middle of nowhere and we can make all the noise we want lol. The only issue is lack of parking. We must park the cars on the side of the road.
