Lake Chauncy is a great place to enjoy a picnic, build sand castles, throw a frisbee, or take a dip! This is a hidden gem of Westborough and is only allowed to residents of Westborough and Northborough. We are continuing to improve the Chauncy beach experience for all.  Check out some of the accomodations we offer!





  • Playground area with swings and see-saws 


  • Picnic Tables 


  • Restrooms/changing facilities for men and women


  • Roped off swimming area (with water tested by the board of health weekly!)




Lake Chauncy is a fun and safe place to swim! The water is tested weekly by the board of health and also gets a weed treatment at the beginning of the swim season. Lifeguards are all Red Cross certified and also teach our swim lessons. Come visit Westborough’s only public beach!

Location: From Rt 9 and Lyman St intersection, follow Lyman Street northerly towards Northboro. Parking for 75 vehicles is 300 yards up on right, beach is across the street on left. 

Boat Access: No watercraft, motorized or not, is allowed to enter the water or dock/ unload on or next to the beachfront EVER. The Boat Access is located off Chauncy Street. All personal watercraft such as jet skis, skidoos, etc are now banned from the lake (effective 2008).
