Water Safety Rules
Harry Todd Park has plenty of lakefront amenities, and the most important rule is to use each only for its intended purpose. The fishing area is only for fishing, the boating area is only for boating, and the swimming area is only for swimming. It is against park rules to perform a water activity in an improper area.
Swimmers must stay inside the roped area. No dogs are allowed on the beach, docks, or in the water. No rough play is allowed near water or docks. Children under 8 must be supervised by an adult. Swim at your own risk when no lifeguards are on duty.
