A one-mile walking path encircles the reservoir.[2] Shoreline fishing is offered. The reservoir is a popular birding location, where at least 195 species have been observed.[4] The Reilly Memorial Recreation Center beside the reservoir has a swimming pool and skating rink.[3] A building across the street from the reservoir, which housed pumping equipment for the water system, has been converted into the Metropolitan Waterworks Museum.
