Common questions
The site is historically called 'Lewis Playground' and was evaluated for play equipment in the town's 2009 ADA self-evaluation.
Are dogs allowed off-leash?
No. The townwide leash law applies here as everywhere else: a dog off the owner's property must be restrained or under direct control.
Are restrooms open year-round?
No permanent restroom exists. Only a portable toilet was documented, in 2009, and it was not wheelchair-accessible.
Can I reserve the pavilion?
Yes, contact the Recreation Committee at brookfieldrec@gmail.com to reserve it for a private event.
Are there walking trails?
Not at this site; it's a fields-and-pavilion facility, not a trail destination.
Is there an entry fee at Lewis Field?
No, entry is free.
