Great place to take photos. Especially this time of year when the trees are turning colors. The fall colors and the lake make a great photo combination.

Took my son up there for a nice day and was not disappointed. It was very clean and had plenty of space for my son to run around. It wasnt overly crowded either, which was good. I like that theres a small beach as well. Except for all the goose poop, it was pretty clean!

Terrible spot if you are looking for a beach. Waterfowl poop was lining all the beach sand. Grass was also growing up through the beach sand. It almost looked abandoned. I thought I had gotten lucky driving by and seeing that no one was on the beach. Now I know why. Town should shut it down to the public and let the waterfowl have it.

Love this place. My kids enjoy playing sports here and the fields are always so clean and neat. Plenty of parking and portapottys. Concession stand has reasonable priced food and drinks for purchase. Playground for all ages and roped off swimming area at the lake. Fun for the whole family

They could have better parking for sure. However do not ever park on grass police will ticket you.

Love it! Grew up on this lake. I am an avid kayaker, it’s an awesome lake to paddle. Never had duck itch from the water in my 37 years,all of which I spent swimming in that lake. I guess maybe I’m immune by now? Lol.

Its a lovely place to relax under the shade of the big trees. There is some road noise, but we face the lake and get immersed in nature.

Went to swim here while on a small vacation with my family. We immediately left because the entire re beach area was covered in animal feces. There was what looked like cat feces all through the sand and by the shore there was what we assumed was duck or goose feces. We also witnessed a child pick trash out of the water in the 30 seconds we stood on the beach area. Shame on the town for not keeping the area clean.

Pretty area, picnic tables, a couple of nice play areas for kids. Absolutely do not send children alone, though. The area is unsafe, drug use is prolific, and in warmer months its not uncommon to find discarded hypodermic needles. Wouldnt recommend swimming: water fowl is abundant as is their feces along the beach and the city no longer tests for e. coli or duck itch, which have been rampant problems in years past.

Not much fun. Dirty lake and beach. The bathroom facility was okay. The swings were the only thing that my step child liked.

Great place for walking the track or having a picnic lunch. Not a good place for swimming. Too many ducks and geese.

Review №36

Much thanks to the support staff of this park and the community that keeps it maintained. My family and I moved back to NH after a career in the military and this was the first park I was ever able to take my children, to teach them to skate and play hockey. We have been back multiple times this winter and hope for many more before the ice melts. The ice rinks are too often vacant. I hope to see more people from our community out on the ice for fun and games. My kids are learning quick and were yearning for some pick up games.

This is a simple, but nice park with a playground and lake beach. There is what I think was a school next door, so I may avoid it during the school week.

Great place to play Pokemon go or the Harry Potter wizards unite games. Keep away from swimming in the cove though as duck itch outbreaks happen frequently from there.

The lake was pretty and scenic but when we visited, there was an information board close to the water that advises against swimming or wading because of high levels of bacteria in the water. Visitors are asked to contact the states Environmental Services office for updates on water quality.

I didnt go to Opechee Park. I merely drove through Laconia, NH today, apparently with my smartphone on. Then my not-so-smart smartphone asked me to create a review. But I cant review a park I didnt visit. Next time, the airplane mode will be on while driving...

My wife and I went to this location in August of 2017. There were signs posted telling everyone to stay out of the water due to a bacterial contamination. Trash was strewn about. The grass had grown long and was in desperate need of a mow. I read in the paper that there was a heroin bust in the park.All in all it was a mediocre visit at best. Definitely not a first choice of a beach/park to bring the family.
