Overview:
In the warmer months Frog Pond--one of three natural mud
ponds located on Boston Common--is a huge wading pool,
complete with a water fountain in its center. But in
November, it's transformed into a giant outdoor rink with a
16,000-square-foot ice-skating surface, becoming an ice
playground for kids--as well as a refuge for office workers,
who can lace up their skates for an invigorating workout or
a leisurely stride-and-glide.
Features:
Frog Pond is not
totally at the mercy of the elements--the city maintains it
through the winter with ice-making equipment stored at the
nearby kiosk. The kiosk is also where skaters can take a
break from the cold in the warming room, use the restrooms
or rent skates. |
