Beautiful park. The oldest park in Boston. The frog pond in the winter is a ice skating rink. My daughter's highlights of her vacation were skating on that rink.

I had so much fun and it was my very first time to enter ice rink. My friend encouraged me to try ice skating. At first, I was so hesitant coz I think I was too old to do it and I don't think I could balance myself but thanks for her encouragement I was able to challenge myself.

Frog pond was good, but crowded and of course water not as sanitary. Wish it was chlorinated. My daughter went in and her eyes were a bit red. If going in, wear shoes and don't put whole body in the water. Animals are going in there too so be careful. The park next to frog pond was nice.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

For street parking, sometimes there's a parking spot but most of the time no, depends how busy it gets on the weekends. To avoid getting tickets or tow you better off parking your car at the garage. There's garage down the street from frog pond. Go online search for "parking garage near frog pond" you'll get more information including the parking garage price. 🙂

Anthony Attardo | Aug 25, 2019
Terrell Carter | Aug 25, 2019

The Frog Pond here in Boston is a great place to spend a snowy day off. Starting today, they are offering free ice skating to the public. The free admission does include skates. The Frog Pond opens at 10 a.m. today and tickets are on a first come first serve basis. You are also right by the Freedom Trail if you’re up for a walk today.

Is there parking?

Katerina | Aug 25, 2019
Candice Johnson | Aug 25, 2019

Yes so there is a parking garage that enters at the south of the park and goes actually underground under the commons. On weekends it's only about $14 bucks for 2 hours I think I paid $16 for 3 hrs. You can also try parking on the street, like Trenmont st. But with there being No parking signs everywhere I didnt want to chance it and chose to park in the garage.

I think that it is probably open today. The ice is refrigerated so it does not need to be freezing outside for it to stay frozen. I think that the inclement weather is in reference to precipitation more than above normal temperatures.
