The Boston Common Frog Pond is toad-ally awesome!
Went I went in the springtime, it was too warm for ice skating, and too cold for frogs. So the frog pond sat as an empty concrete pond. You could just go walking across it.
But it was flanked by musicians practicing and performing! It's such a cool place that fronts the lil' tadpole playground and is separated by the frog statues.
The frogs here seem to be fans of the Red Sox, which you gotta love.
There's a place where you can rent skates or whatnot. But I guess that wouldn't be much fun without the ice.
The place was scenic, and a fun place in Boston Common to hang out at.

This place is always packed during events. It’s a nice place to sit a watch people in the summer and in the winter.
In the summer the pond is open and there are sprinklers. I see lots of kids come here to play in ankle deep water. Not sure how sanitary it is but I guess it’s pretty clean because I have never heard of them closing it down due to illnesses. Sometimes it is closed and flushed. So maybe that helps. But also maybe it can be a way to boost your kids’ immune systems if they don’t get terribly sick from the water.
The ice skating is nice in the winter. But like I said, it is always packed. Come here early to rent some skates or bing your own. But come early so you don’t have to wait in the mile long line.
For others, bring a date and either ice cream or hot chocolate to watch people and chat. Great way to get to know each other by how they perceive others.

They have awesome events here all year long: jack-o'-lantern float for Halloween, tree lighting around Christmas, and skating all winter. It's really a fantastic spot.
There is a sweet playground right next to it, and so many cool things are within a couple minutes walking: food trucks, sledding up at the monument, events at the common, shopping on Newbury street, the theatre district, historic Beacon Hill, and the flower garden & swan boats, to name a few.
They have skate rentals, if you need them, and there's a carousel right next to it, most of the year.

Frog pond is a really beautiful place. You can walk around it. Part of the Boston Common park. One of the events that takes place at the pond is the Pumpkin festival.
