With parking lots getting full as visitors arrive from all over Canada, Parks Canada is reminding visitors to P.E.I. National Park that roadside parking is not permitted.

Parks Canada said cars could be towed and drivers could face fines for parking illegally.

It suggests using the online parking tool, PEINow, to gauge parking availability, or come when sites are not as busy — before 11 a.m. AT and after 3 p.m.
