The Family Action Network of Winchester is preparing to launch its Borggaard Beach Revitalization Project, which aims to turn Winchester’s Borggaard Beach into a year round, barrier free recreational facility by installing an inclusive, automated, interactive splash park utilizing water from an artesian water well that already exists on the site, as well as updating the current playground amenities. Both the splash park and playground will be handicapped accessible, making this one of the few facilities of its kind in the area.

Currently, many Winchester families turn to other towns for their water based recreational offerings, while Borggaard Beach remains underutilized. During this time of economic uncertainty, a multi-use facility at Borggaard would provide a low cost, accessible recreational activity for families, defray the substantial loss the Town of Winchester incurs in the beach’s operational costs by increasing membership and participation, and help support our local economy by retaining residents’ presence and shopping dollars within our community.

The revitalization campaign officially kicks off on May 31st, concurrent with FAN’s annual Barnyard Babies event taking place on the Town Common between 10am and 1pm. For more information or to get involved, log on to www.fansplash.org.
