Sandy Pond Beach is Closed

7/30/2016 NOTICE: Sandy Pond Beach will be closed for swimming until at least Monday, August 1, due to elevated levels of E.coli in the water.  This is a common occurrence for Sandy Pond and similar sized bodies of water in this area during protracted periods of warm weather.  Elevated levels of E.coli often dissipates relatively quickly, but for now the Nashoba Board of Health is requiring us to close our facilities for swimming until tests can determine the levels of potentially harmful bacteria are within the safe range.  The Park itself will remain open for other recreational use such as basketball, volleyball, picnicking, etc., and we will continue to update the status of Sandy Pond and keep the public informed as we get more information from the Nashoba BOH.
