Breezy Picnic Grounds Waterslides

Ultimately we had a great day! Luckily there were no lines. The grounds were very clean and well kept however what stopped the park from getting a 5 was the teenagers running the slides. They were rude, did not pay attention half the time and would yell at people not doing anything wrong while the ones doing the wrong would continually screw around.

I thought it was a very nice place as a family event. I thought the slides were perfect and plenty. Lines were long but they moved. Nite to self, bring items to play with outside of the slides.

Pros — it was definitely cooler at the lake and yes, there was a nice breeze. Water slide lines moved fast — probably less than the 10 minute wait.
Cons — expensive! $ 20 per person is a lot! The lake area for swimming was small and crowded. The place was packed with people and, on a week day, tons of campers. Game room is small and a waste of money. Crowds! Get there early of you will be sitting near the bathroom and septic tank.
If you want lake swimming, there are cheaper alternatives. If you want water slides, head to a water park for a little more money. The combination of both in one place may be worth it for some but not for us.

Really pleasant little place. This was our first visit. Apparently it’s been around for a long time. It has a cute, family-​owned, summer in New England, clean-​fun vibe. Plenty of shade, picnic tables and loved the nostalgic smell of charcoal grills. Usually lakes gross me out, but the water was really clear and not smelly at all. Only complaint was slide lines were a little long, but we were there on a hot weekend day.

I have been here many times and it’s always clean and a nice day for all. Today it smells like sewage and cigarettes every time the wind blows. Disgusting. I paid $ 100 for this?!?

Awesome day at Breezy! I took my four children and a friend for the day– and they had a blast! The older boys ran back and forth between the lake and the slides, while my youngest spent the day in the beach sand. I loved that instead of one large beach, they had five or six smaller areas for my son to enter the lake and play in the sand. It was so much easier to keep track of him compared to some vast beach area. He could find me easily, and I didn’t ever worry that I would lose sight of him.
At one point, we went over the watch everyone on the slides. While I was waiting for my son to come down, an event happened… One woman managed to cut the back of her head as she entered the top of the slide and start her trip down. The lifeguard noticed the woman at the top of the slide, but she was already on her way. By the time she reached the bottom of the slide, two lifeguards were waiting for her. They had her out of the pool, seated and were attending to her before she even knew that she had a cut! She was administered first aid, before she even knew of her injury! I was so impressed by their response to this woman– clearly they have been well trained. Since the woman had a cut on her head and head injuries are known to bleed a lot, I would have expected to see some trace of her injury, but the speed and skill with which the Breezy crew took care of this woman, what could have become an event, was not.

If you have an open mind when it comes to summer excursions, this spot is for you. Since the weather forecast called for blazing sun today, we decided to give-​it-​a-​go. Traveling from the Boston area, we arrived early and grabbed a picnic table at the waterfront; plenty of shady trees, a spot for our chairs, a table to each lunch at, a grassy area for my 10 month old (slow clap for no sandy buns), enough sand for my 3 year old (a trip to the beach isn’t complete without a sandcastle), and a cool breeze. We were already set-​up for a perfect day, then throw in a couple runs down the slippery slides and it’s a done deal. The crowd is diverse, but I find no fault in that because who doesn’t love a day of grilling, swimming, and family fun?

Had a great day here. The grounds are very well kept. Small bathroom but very clean. Will definitely be back.

Not a bad word to say about this place. Beautiful grounds, impeccably clean bathrooms, friendly staff. Waterslide and fresh water fun for all ages. Sun for sun worshippers and shade for the others. Bring a grill for a fresh burger or order from concession stand. Worth every hard earned penny!

Loved my experience here! I brought my two-​year-​old and was a little nervous about bringing him on the waterslides — you never know when he could have a freak-​out moment. I made sure he had his lifejacket and he sat on my lap — and he absolutely LOVED the waterslides — I couldn’t believe it! He kept begging me for more, more, more — giggling the whole way down — it was so much fun to do that with him!
The lake is nice but the sand part, which my son is into (he loves to dig) was kind of small and sloped steeply into the water — with so many kids running around I definitely couldn’t just sit back, relax, and watch him play — I had to stand with him so he wouldn’t fall (which he still did a few times). That would be my only negative about the place — wish the sandy area was larger and flatter (though he didn’t seem to mind!).
The large grassy area is lovely — lots of picnic tables, too! We got one easily. And like others have said — the restrooms were very clean!
We’ll definitely be back!

I’m not sure why I’m reviewing this well after the summer is over, but I’ve been meaning to do it. We went to Breezy a few months back and it was definitely a hit. We have small kids and the place is laid out in a way that makes it easier than most places to keep the kids entertained and safely within sight. The waterslides are good, but not ridiculously scary. The grass and picnic tables are a bonus, plus you can bring your own food. It’s not easy to get there, but I’d say it is worth it. If you are looking for a fun place for the family that won’t leave you exhausted, Breezy is a good choice.

Picnic tables go quick so bring a blanket just in case (there is plenty of grass.)

Took the family to Breezy on Labor Day, the last day of the summer season for them. The entire park was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. We instantly loved this place and are looking forward to a return in 2013. The water temp was a little chilly but it was also about 77 degrees outside. Loved that my 2 year old could ride the slides with us, and that my 7 year old could go on the slides on his own as much as he wanted. Very attentive lifeguards and safety is a priority here. The lake was clear and clean, the boys loved swimming near the beach. Snack bar was reasonably priced and good quality food. Very happy to be able to patronize a wholesome, family friendly park. Good clean fun!

This is a great place. The slides are fun, grounds are clean and lake water is clear. It isn’t the cheapest place, but it is worth the money.

I took my kids ages 8, 5, and 2 to Breezy for the first time on July 17,2012, We had a blast. The water in the lake was some of the cleanest fresh water that I ever swam in, You could see the bottom which was nice and sandy. The temp of the water was also nice. My boys liked playing in the several sand areas, They have a snack bar. I didn’t purchase anything from it but the prices seemed fair. There is plenty of grass to lay down a blanket and plenty of trees offering shade. The waterslides were fun. My kids loved them. The only complaint I have is that is was a busy day. The wait in the lines for the slides was a little long. It was a very hot day back home but there was a nice breeze off the lake. I can see why they named it Breezy. It must have been 10 degrees cooler on the lake than it was in town. As for the grounds, they are neatly kept up with plenty of trash cans located throughout the area. The changing rooms and bathrooms were also kept clean. I found the staff to be attentive, friendly, and helpful. My kids had a blast and asked me on the way home when are we coming back. I told them Soon!

I visited Breeze Picnic Grounds in July of 2011. It was a bit expensive to get in not even including the use of the water slides. The grounds are very clean and neat and you can tell the owners take great pride in their venue.
However, I did have the same problem with the sand flea things that another user poster as well. We had two children playing in the sand in front of the water area for hours. The next day both of them woke up with bites all over their body. A trip to the doctor informed us that they had been eaten by those nasty little bugs. The kids were miserable for several days so I don’t think we will be back. What a shame as I thought I found a great place to bring my family.

My parents came out here the other day because they live super close by. Today was the first day of a heat wave, and since we don’t have A/​C, my parents and I took the boys out for the day so we weren’t all sweating to death at home.
Totally worth it.
The breeze off the lake was all day, to the point that we kind of forgot about the heat wave until we were going home for lunch in my parents’ air-​conditioned home. We were reminded when we got to the top of the hill to the road, and everyone was in complete disbelief of the temperature difference over such a short distance.
Anyway despite only a very small amount of sand, it never seems like any of the 10,000 children are clamoring for sandcastle acreage, the lake water is pleasant and warmish (so that my 19-​month-​old doesn’t refuse to swim). Also the bathroom was clean, which is regrettably rare. The ice cream from the snack bar was a nice end to the day, there are a billion picnic tables that somehow all seem to be in the shade, the grass is comfortable and well-​manicured.
And the waterslides look fun. When I have a kid old enough to be allowed on, we’ll pay the extra money to ride them. Also — totally fantastic to have waterslides so close for only an $ 18.00 [adult] entry fee.

My family has decided to make a trip to Breezy Picnic Grounds a tradition for Independence Day. I had never joined them but decided to do so this year. Really, I wanted to see what all the fuss was about.
We do not go here for the waterslides, just for the beach and the picnic tables along the water. My family lines up about an hour before the place opens in order to claim a good spot. The property, which is right on the lake, has small beach areas where kids can play in the sand and water. The rest of the property is covered with well-​maintained grass.
Armed with a portable grill, charcoal and lighter fluid, everyone is able to eat, eat, eat all day long. We brought some chairs and blankets and lay out on the grass! (A plus for those of us that don’t want to be covered in sand.) The kids were happy playing in the water, on the sand and in the small arcade on the property.
The place also offers some food at the snack bar, which is nice. The bathrooms were heavily used this day because of the large number of people there but they were ok as far as cleanliness. I enjoyed picnicking here and think that it is a good place to keep in mind if you are looking for something nice to do with the family.
I paid for my $ 9 adult ticket for the beach with no waterslide access.

Just got home from the Breezy Picnic Grounds. We did the after 3pm admission. After 3pm, 5 and over (with water slides) was $ 15. Its a bit much.
There are three water slides of resonable length. The crowds didn’t seem to bad after 3pm on a weekday (and it was a beautiful day). In addiition, there was a nice lake with a sandy bottom. It was a nice place to swim and the water was quite warm, warmer than one might expect in a lake, and warmer our local pools. There were plenty of picnic tables to put your stuff in, and your welcome to bring in food.
We also purchased food from their snack bar. The food seemed good but was a bit pricey. They had the local park fare, hot dogs, french fries, ice cream etc…
It was a nice place to go with younger kids. I think older kids would be bored.

Many people don’t know about this little gem in the middle of Massachusetts. I started coming here with my boyfriend when I was a teen. All his family including cousins and their kids, aunts and uncles could always be found in the same area of the park. It was like having an informal family reunion every weekend. When we had our kids, we did the same thing for many years and had wonderful times here.
The breeze is constant. I don’t understand how it can be so hot everywhere else but here was this constant breeze off the lake that would cool you right down. The water is super clean, the lawn full and soft. Always clean areas where the picnic tables are and the sand is raked every night. The store is great for munchies and ice cream.
What a great place to take your family and it’s so close to Worcester!!!
