in Boston, MA 02108about Frog Pond:
When Jack Frost starts nipping at your nose, don't run inside. Lace up your skates and hit the Frog Pond located in the historic Boston Common. Frog Pond is the Common's "cement pond" - and it hosts skating in the winter and becomes a wading pool in the summer. It's easily one of our favorite family spots.
For those aspiring Ice Capaders, there's no better place to sharpen skills; you'll find 16,000 square feet of outdoor skating space primed for blades. Skate and locker rentals are available, and a toasty warm kiosk is open when you need to thaw out or grab a bite to eat from the full service snack bar. Best of all, IceStars Skating Programs offer group and private lessons.
When it's warm and you need to cool off, the Frog Pond doubles as a huge wading pool, with fountain. Even the smallest of kids can enjoy the water. Moms and Dads needn't worry; the pool is never filled higher than an inch or so. The bigger kids will have fun doing the fountain thing. It's also a nice spot to sit on a bench, chat with some other parents, and watch your kids have a great time.
