A note about the water quality at the Beach:

Water quality monitoring is performed weekly during the swimming sea-

son, for coliform bacteria and E. coli. If harmful levels of bacteria are de-

tected, or other potentially injurious substances are found, beach closings

may occur to protect the safety and health of residents. Such occurrences

are rare.

COVID 19 Update

In 2020 changes were made to beach operations to

ensure patron and staff safety and to support social

distancing requirements. These changes included im-

plementing a reservation system for season pass hold-

ers, restrictions on the sale of resident day passes and

the decision to cancel swimming lessons and our

Brookfield Muskrats Swim Team. We are evaluating

how to best manage operations during the 2021 sea-

son under current guidelines. More information will be

released in May. We are confident the Town Park

Beach will operate safely again this summer.
