About Breezy Picnic Grounds

Breezy Picnic Grounds is a family-owned day destination in Douglas, Massachusetts, on the shore of Whitins Reservoir, operating since 1953. Visitors swim in the lake, which has a sandy area for children, and spend the day at the shoreline. Picnickers can bring their own food or buy meals and snacks at the snack bar. Certified lifeguards are on duty, and there are floating docks and a kiddie slide for children 48 inches and under. The three main waterslides have been retired after 42 years. Private overwater hammock areas can be reserved online for an additional fee. The site states it is closed for the 2026 season.
