    Pizza and swimming at the res to celebrate being halfway through the week!

    We've reserved the pavilion at the Arlington Reservoir for pizza. It's covered picnic tables past the playground and restrooms. Take advantage of cheaper admission to go swimming, pizza, and opportunity to meet some more families. Advanced tickets are $10 per family for members, and $20 per family for non-members.

    Tickets get your entire family (limit 5 tickets)** admission into the Arlington Reservoir for swimming and food. This event has a 35 participant capacity for admission to the Arlington Reservoir for swimming. Children under 1 do not need a ticket.

    Existing Arlington Reservoir Season Passholders - you do not need Reservoir Admission because you are a season pass holder or already plan to be at the Res earlier, you do not need to purchase a ticket for Res admission through us, and can still join. If you're interested in food, you can purchase food tickets from us in advance ($5 for members, $8 for non-members) or day of while supplies last. Purchasing food tickets in advance helps us plan how much to order, but is not required.

    ** If your party has more than 5 people over 1 years old, add the maximum guest tickets, and reply to the registration confirmation email. We can update your registration to account for the larger family size.
