Great swimming area in Brimfield on the Monson town line. Next to a campground. $ 5 for MA vehicles to park and $ 8 for out of state. Has a life guard, bathrooms and grilles on site. It’s part of DCR and has hiking trails and a forest.

My wife and her family have been going here for years. It’s a beautiful park with a swimming pond, trails, gazebo and grills. The pond is gorgeous. We usually take a drive to take a sneak peak. You will usually find people fishing on the far side of the pond and swimmers on the other. The trail around the pond is not strenuous. Definitely our most visited state park.

What a sweet little swimming spot! I last went to Dean Pond when I was a wee one, and seem to remember a sad little swimming area, no facilities and a non-existent beach(think«muck» between your toes and slimy little pond plants!). So… I really didn’t have high expectations for this outing, but the pond is less than 15 minutes from my parents’ house, so… off we went. Clearly, things have changed! The beach is now well defined AND nice and sandy(no muck… and good quality«sand castle sand» to boot!). My son and I had a great time playing, swimming and generally goofing around. The entry fee(parking) is $ 5, but that buys you a nice picnic area, changing facilities, real bathrooms, and nicely cared for grounds with plenty of room for sitting under the giant pines or eating a picnic meal. We went mid-week, and while there was a bus-load of campers, they were gone by 1pm, and we practically had the place to ourselves. This will definitely be a «must-go» place for us whenever we visit the grandparents!
