Children, as well as their parents and grandparents, can have a full day of family fun at Breezy.  Located in the heart of Douglas, MA Breezy is your go-to spot for summer family fun and summer things to do.  Just pack a lunch for a picnic … or visit our snack bar. Everyone will enjoy swimming in crystal-clear Whitins Reservoir and relaxing in our clean, well-groomed grounds.

Literally my kids and I had SO SO much fun! Got there at 12:30 and didn’t leave until 5. Next time we plan to stay open-close. It’s so clean, so relaxed and chill, the lake is extremely clean so much so you can see to the bottom in shallow parts, the sand feels nice and the water slides? SO FUN! The lines look long but they move fast since there are 3 amazing water slides. I was pleasantly surprised about how little the wait time was. All in all, literally the perfect summer day and at a very reasonable price. We can’t wait to go back and not sure why we waited so long to check it out in the first place! Oh and my kids LOVE fried dough- the snack shacks was amazing. You can get in paying by card but snack shack is cash only. They have atm on premises.

I have taken my kids several times over the past few years, we all love it! Very clean and we always have a great time! Yesterday a small boy was riding down with his dad on the slide and he went under the water and was having a hard time getting up his dad somehow got separated from him on the slide, one of the lifeguards was in the water and had the little boy up out of the water in a second! Great job! We will be back again!

Clean, well kept, and beautiful. The lake is so clear you can see straight to the bottom! The wayerslides are well monitored and super fun. The snack bar offers a wide variety of snacks. Bathrooms and changing areas are cleaned regularly. Definitely come here for your summer outings!

My family has been coming here as far back as I can remember; more than 50 years. It has always been clean and beautiful! It remains as pristine today as it was so many years ago, and at a reasonable price. The water slides have been a great addition for the kids and are very clean and safe, but I am thankful they have not over-improved the grounds to attract the amusement park crowd. A sense of nostalgia creates an atmosphere of simpler times, when family time was valued. Will be visiting in August with the family, extended family and friends once again, a tradition we look forward to every year!

This place is amazing!!! They actually allow you the freedom to enjoy yourself in the pond. The slides are crazy fun, water was perfect, and the staff was very pleasant. Just me and my daughter today, and we had a BLAST!!! Places like this make me sad summer is coming to an end. SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!!!!!😁😁😁😁

Excellent Family Destination
Really one of the more ideal summer family destinations I've been to in MA. The waterslides really are alot of fun - not too fast, not too slow. I went down with my 4 year daughter on my lap several times. Between that and the lake the whole family can be well entertained for hours. The grounds (bathroom, picnic tables, etc) are really clean and well maintained. You can bring your own food or hit the snack bar for everything from hot dogs, chicken fingers, fries, ice cream to slightly more healthy options like fruit cups and yogurts. Overall hard to imagine anyone not having a great time here.

A New Chapter at Breezy Picnic Grounds​

Since 1953, Breezy has been a beloved summer tradition for generations of families, friends, school groups, and summer camps. In 1983, we added the waterslides. They quickly became a centerpiece of the fun and a thrilling way to make memories on a hot day by the lake.

After 42 wonderful years, we have made the heartfelt decision to retire the three main Waterslides. Like all good things, they’ve had their season, bringing joy and laughter to thousands of riders over the decades.

This is not the end of Breezy: it’s the start of a new chapter. We remain open and committed to hosting families, school trips, and summer camps, just as we always have. Breezy has always been a place to gather, relax, and make memories — and that will continue for years to come.

Please know: Breezy is not closing. We’re evolving.

The slides may be gone, but the heart of Breezy remains. We are still here. Still family-run. Still proud to carry on this third-generation tradition. And we’re excited to continue welcoming guests — old and new — for lakeside summer days well into the future.

Looking ahead, we’re eager to see how Breezy will continue to bring people together. This new chapter opens the door for fresh ideas and improvements in the seasons to come.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Your memories, your loyalty, and your love for Breezy mean the world to us. Thank you for making the Waterslides such a meaningful part of so many summers.

With gratitude,
The Forget Family
