Frog Pond

  Frog Pond, nestled in Boston's historic Boston Common, is a multifaceted recreational area that has entertained residents and visitors since its creation in 1848. Originally serving as a watering hole for livestock, this nearly 1-acre pond has transformed into a popular ice-skating rink during the winter months of December through March. In warmer weather, families and picnickers flock to its grassy banks to enjoy the surroundings, and children often splatter in the shallow water play area. As a central feature of the Common, Frog Pond offers stunning views of the surrounding parkland, making it a peaceful escape in the heart of the city. Whether you're skating on its ice or soaking up the summer sun, Frog Pond remains a vibrant part of Boston's outdoor landscape.
