Summer update: Memorial Beach at Natick’s Dug Pond

June 29, 2021 by Deborah Brown 1 Comment

The town of Natick has opened Memorial Beach at Dug Pond and made final decisions on what the season will look like in terms of the length of the season, times, and recreational offerings such as swim lessons. The beach will remain open until Sunday, August 15. Lifeguards, managers, and gate attendants will be on duty. Memorial Beach is for Natick Residents only for the summer of 2021.

    “Memorial Beach will not accept walk-ins on weekends. Here’s information on how to reserve your space.“

    Does Natick not want people to go to the beach on Saturday or Sunday? Rec Dept sends them to a 3 page pdf? UNACCEPTABLE! Also some town webpages not updated since 2015??? Unacceptable!

    Thank you Natick Repirt for keeping us informed though!
