Arlington Reservoir

Nice walking/jogging path. New parking lot and play area. This is a pretty nice loop that I think is about a mile per loop

This is an amazing place to swim, walk the trail and play in the children's playground.

Arlington did an excellent and innovative job creating this clean, filtered and beautiful area by carving out a section of the actual reservoir and turning it into a swimming area. It is beautiful.

Since they renovated the beach it's absolutely great. Plenty of room for a lot of people (it helps that it's a $8 pp fee to get in), a lot of natural shade from trees, always fully staffed with lifeguards, new playground and restroom facilities. Perfect for kids, the water is mostly shallow so even a 4yo can enjoy it and older kids have a lot of swimming room. The water is treated somehow so it's not grimy, there's no seaweed or disgusting lake stuff like other lake beaches. Excellent beach for families.

Great place for toddlers and kids with a playground, bathroom, concession stand and clean water (at least in the morning). A little overpriced at $5pp, and the season is a little short (mid-June to mid-August), but a great resource to have nearby!
