Kayak and Boat Storage Permits
Barrington Recreation offers the opportunity for residents to obtain a kayak, paddleboard, and/or boat storage permit at Walker Farm or Town Beach via a lottery system.
2023 Season
The drawing was successfully held in-person on Thursday, March 23rd, at the Peck Center for Adult Enrichment, and the winners will be notified by email with further instructions on obtaining the permit. Payment will only be collected if you win a spot.
These results are the raw data from the random drawings. The results will be audited and the entries with duplicates will be notified to choose one site for their watercraft. Then we will update these results to fill any openings with those on the waitlist in order of drawing as noted in the raw data.
