About Margaret Lindley Park
Margaret Lindley Park offers a refreshing cold spring experience in Massachusetts, blending natural charm with family-friendly enhancements. The spring flows through Hemlock Brook, where a large oval swimming area is lined with sand, creating a small beach for digging and relaxing. This hybrid spot balances the tranquility of cold spring water with accessible swimming and open green space.
Getting There
You reach Margaret Lindley Park easily by car, with no hiking needed to access the swimming area. Parking is available but limited, so arriving early during busy summer days is a good idea to secure a spot near the park.
What to Expect
Expect a shallow, sandy-bottom pool perfect for splashing or swimming laps in the cool brook water. Lifeguards are on duty from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the atmosphere is laid-back with lawn space and picnic tables shaded by trees. It’s a simple, healthful, and free spot ideal for a sunny Massachusetts day.
Tips for Visitors
Visit in summer when the water is most inviting and the facilities are open. Bring your own shade and picnic supplies since amenities are minimal. Remember the park closes at dusk and has no entry fee, but limited parking means arriving early ensures a hassle-free experience.
