Nobody has sent me a picture of Broadford Lake Park. If you have been, that is the one thing I cannot get by ringing anyone up —send one and it goes on this page with your name on it if you want it.

Yes — season not confirmed
Reported first-hand. Whether they stay open outside the beach season is the part that matters and is not confirmed.

I got this wrong
Corrected 3 Aug 2026
I'd said: "Believed to charge an entry or beach fee in season."
Actually: I don't know, and "believed" is not something this site is allowed to publish. It was a guess with no source behind it, which is the one thing every page here promises not to do. The fee is now marked unconfirmed until the Town of Oakland confirms it.
From people who were there
There are restrooms, a playground and a beach area.
