Kirk's Pond

Genreal Information

• Kirk's Pond, located on Route 67 near the Town Hall, is available for fishing and ice-skating. Check the sign at the pond to see if there is ”skating allowed” or ”no skating allowed”. Skating is allowed only when the ice is at least 4 inches thick.
• Kirk's Pond Skating Rules: Oxford Parks and Recreation would like everyone to be aware that Kirk’s Pond will be open for skating only when the ice measures at least 4 inches thick in all spots tested. A sign is posted to keep you informed. If the sign says “No Skating”, police will be checking the area and will remove anyone attempting to skate on the unsafe surface. After a snowfall, please do not shovel the ice – allow Parks and Rec staff to remove the snow. Also, please do not throw objects like stones and branches onto the ice to test its status. Those objects freeze into the surface and make it very unsafe.
