The Union Reservoir swim beach will reopen in a limited capacity on Monday, July 6. A maximum of 50 people will be allowed onto the swim beach on a first-come, first-served basis. Once the 50-person capacity has been reached, no other swimmers will be allowed on the beach until someone leaves.

Swim beach hours will be from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. No open water swims are scheduled. The dog swim beach and fishing pier remains closed at this time.

What to Expect:

• The swim beach area will be fenced off to maintain the 50-swimmer capacity.
• Staff will be at the entrance in order to monitor the 50-swimmer capacity.
• Lifeguards will be present.
• Dog beach and fishing pier are closed.

As with the phased reopening of the Recreation Center and other City pools, guests will be asked to follow the general COVID-19 public health guidelines including maintaining six feet of distance from others, wearing a mask when not actively in the water and refraining from gathering.

General guidelines for visiting:

• Please stay home if you are experiencing any symptoms associated with the novel coronavirus, have been in contact with someone with COVID-19 within the past 14 days, or are in a vulnerable population (older adults and those with underlying health conditions).
