Everyone over two (2) years of age must display season pass tags or pay daily admission to be admitted to beach area.

*Closing date is subject to staff availability. Except for pre and post season maintenance, the park is open to the public approximately September - May in the off season.

Accessible Wheelchair
Arlington Recreation Department in partnership with the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Division (DEI) secured funding through the Disability Commission's budget for two floating beach wheelchairs at Reservoir Beach.
