Is Silver Lake Doing a Dog Day This Summer?

With summer weather starting to descend upon us, Grafton residents are looking forward to spending some time in the town's parks.

Most specifically, residents have been asking about the Silver Lake beach. One resident remembered the Doggy Dip Days that the recreation department has held at Silver Lake and asked Patch if the town was doing any this year.

Well readers, the answer is: yes. In fact, the town is doing two this year. On June 22, the day before the beach opens for the summer, residents will be able to take a dip with their canine pals from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The beach will also close for the year with a Doggy Dip Day on Aug. 25 from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Parking permits have been available to residents at the cost of $50 since April 1; they go on sale to non-Grafton residents on June 1 at a cost of $95 and are sold on a first come first serve basis.

Day passes will be available for $5 per person per day and can be bought at the beach if parking is still available.
