Frog Pond Ice Skating Rink
About
The Frog Pond Ice Skating Rink is the outdoor skating rink on Boston Common, open each winter from mid-November through March. It is operated through a public-private partnership between the City of Boston and The Skating Club of Boston, which run the Frog Pond and offer programs and services to the Boston community. The rink bills its season as an annual, family-friendly way to skate through the holidays in the heart of the city.
Skaters can bring their own skates or rent a pair, with rental sizes running from toddler 8T up to a men’s 15. Lockers are available, and skate sharpening is offered on site. Children who are still learning can rent Bobby the Skating Seal, a skating aid that helps them keep their balance on the ice. The setting is Boston Common, established in 1634 and widely regarded as the oldest public park in the country.
