Berean Park

General park/swim admission cost was not found in any source. Pavilion rental is $125 with proof of Town of Lloyd residency or $175 for non-residents, plus a $150 refundable security deposit, per the Town's official recreation page.

Town-run lifeguarded swim beach with a sandy entry and a swimming platform in the front pond, plus children's swim lessons ($30/child, 1-hr sessions Mon-Thu) run by the Town of Lloyd Recreation Dept. The iloveny.com listing explicitly describes the park as 'child, pet and group friendly.'

No significant hike is required. The swimming area is close to parking and access.

Descriptions of the site note 'a parking lot and small beach area' at the park entrance off Reservoir Road, near Illinois Mountain. No parking fee is mentioned anywhere; a separate $2 daily swim pass posted by the park appears to be an admission charge, not a parking charge.

One visitor reports the pond is 'nice for kayaking/fishing/a quick dip,' indicating hand-carry kayaking is done there in practice. No official Town of Lloyd rule on watercraft (motorized boats, launch ramps, canoes/SUP specifically) was found in any source, and no boat launch or ramp is mentioned anywhere, so restrictions are left null rather than assumed.

Summer; the Town operates the park seasonally in connection with the Recreation Commission's Summer Fun Program and hires lifeguards/counselors for the season.

The 2004 first-hand account notes a no-pets rule for the park. A separately fenced water-treatment facility adjacent to the park is posted 'No Swimming, No Biking, No Mountain Biking, No Hiking, No Trespassing' -- this restriction applies to that fenced infrastructure area, not the designated swim beach.
