Children and their guests counted down with Mayor Janey to open the Frog Pond for the 2021 season after a hiatus in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mayor Kim Janey, Boston Parks Commissioner Ryan Woods, and The Skating Club of Boston kicked off the 2021 summer season as the Boston Common Frog Pond spray pool reopened on Thursday, June 24.
