## Detailed answer

During peak season, visitors with boats or trailers are required to follow specific parking guidelines and restrictions along the Grand Canal. Parking is only permitted in designated areas, and visitors must obtain a permit from the City of Los Angeles prior to parking their boat or trailer. Additionally, visitors are advised to arrive early to secure a parking spot, as spaces are limited and fill up quickly. It is also important to note that parking restrictions are strictly enforced, and visitors who fail to comply may be subject to fines or towing.
