Frog Pond Spray Pool Opening For Your Wading Pleasure

BOSTON, MA – The Boston Common Frog Pond spray pool opens up Thursday, June 29, kicking off the summer season. There will be special activities from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. and information on upcoming summer programs. Some tasty treats will also be provided.

“The Frog Pond spray pool is the city’s downtown spot for Boston’s youngsters to cool off in hot weather,” said Mayor Martin J. Walsh. “A visit to the Frog Pond can be part of a great family day on Boston Common along with the Tadpole Playground, carousel, food concessions, historic monuments, and the Swan Boats and ‘Make Way for Ducklings’ figures in the Boston Public Garden.”

The opening celebration will feature mascot Frog Pond Freddie, entertainment, face painting, activities with Cambridge Science on the Streets, giveaways from Magic 106.7, and an appearance by the costumed character Surly from the movie “The Nut Job 2.” Children of all ages are also eligible to enter a summer raffle.
