South Park Beach

South Park Beach

The Waupaca Parks and Rec Department manages a public beach located at South Park. The beach house is equipped with changing rooms, vending machines and bathrooms. The beach is staffed with lifeguards starting Memorial Day weekend through late August, WEATHER PERMITTING. Please call the Parks and Recreation office or Beach House if you are planning to bring a large group swimming so that we may be better able to plan. Patrons who decide to swim when lifeguards are off duty can do so at their own risk as long as they do so within park hours (7:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.) *Swimming at your own risk begins when lifeguards announce it at closing time. Swim lessons are taught at South Park Beach throughout the summer (June and July Sessions). To sign up for swim lessons, please visit our website: http://www.waupacaactive.net.
