Walden Pond will see Main Beach closed for the 2025 summer season while a new $6.1 million bathhouse is built, improving accessibility and sustainability. Red Cross Beach will remain open, albeit unguarded. The new facility aims to be DCR's first net-zero project, ensuring compliance with federal and state accessibility standards. Visitors should be prepared for limited parking and will receive multilingual signage about the closure. Alternative swimming locations have been suggested for those seeking to enjoy the water.
"The project will make Walden Pond State Reservation DCR's first net-zero facility and bring the facility up to federal and state accessibility requirements with new restrooms and changing areas at the plaza level."
"While Main Beach will be closed, officials said Red Cross Beach will remain open for the summer season with an unguarded swimming area."
