I pay many thousands in property taxes with very little back in return including a Private road that the town doesn't plow or maintain. I've inquired and complained many times to the town and had it fall on deaf ears. There attitude seems to be that If I can't vote, I have no rights no matter how much I contribute.

I believe the current rules are that if you are a gilford property tax payer, with your name on the deed, that you can get a sticker for your vehicle, registered in your name, at the town hall.
Dependent on your son's age and residency, that would determine whether he is a ''guest''.
Gilford was the first in the area that I know of.... but all the others followed with resident only facilities as the demand became overwhelming.
I believe Gilford's resident population has more than doubled since that bath house was built. Same amount of beach and water... just a lot more potential users.
