Beaches
City of Peterborough’s lifeguard program runs from June 29th until August 25th, with lifeguards at Beavermead and Rogers Cove beaches seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Beavermead beach has an access mat in place from June 29th until August 25th that provides a stable surface across the sand into the water, improving accessibility for everyone.
Peterborough Public Health monitors the water quality at our beaches from June until the end of August and posts the water quality reports online. A flag or sign at the beaches also indicates the status of the water quality when lifeguards are present. For more information on water quality reporting at the public beaches, please contact Peterborough Public Health at 705-743-1000.
Wading pools
Lifeguards supervise the City’s four wading pools from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., seven days a week, beginning June 29 until August 25, 2024. The wading pools are small, shallow pools for young children up to about eight years old. Children need to be accompanied by an adult when using the wading pools.
