We are happy to announce that the Town of Hopkinton will be opening Kimball Pond on June 14th!  
  

General information:
Kimball Pond will be open for the 2024 season from June 15 - August 10.

Kimball Pond is located at 58 Rollins Road and can be used by all Town of Hopkinton/Contoocook residents.  

The Pond is open seven days a week from 10am - 6pm, weather permitting.  We will try to post closures at on the Recreation Facebook site 

The Pond is staffed with trained and certified Lifeguards between the hours of 10am - 6pm.  Due to staffing limitations on certain days, swim at your own risk or deep end restrictions will apply.   On days when there are only 2 lifeguards available, they will announce "swim at your own risk" each hour at 20 minutes before the hour.  After their reset of 20 minutes, they will again resume their lifeguard positions at the water's edge.  Thank you for your understanding as we work through this change in pond management.

The pond has no running water but does have two port-o-johns for patron use.

There are designated swimming areas.  This year, the swimming area is reduced to be able to manage the area with fewer lifeguards due to staffing limitations.
