Signage for Safety
The City of Lamar has emphasized the swimming/boating restrictions for the first, western-most pond at North Gateway Park.

Public Swimming Area
Several weeks ago, the safety issue for the first pond was discussed by the Lamar City Council which issued a statement prohibiting anyone from getting on or in the water at the first pond. It is for fishing only and any floatation device, whether a boat or inflatable raft is not allowed. Signs have been posted to that effect encircling the pond.
The other, eastern-most ponds will allow boating and the city has a public swim area roped off with a beach adjacent to the shade pavilion.
