On this website, we have often talked about how a City/Town’s infrastructure such as parks and playgrounds can positively impact early childhood development. There is no greater example of that than The Boston Common’s frog pond which is easily accessible by public transportation and provides a place for children and families to stay cool in the summer heat while making new friends and building social bonds. It was recently announced on Facebook that the Frog Pond will be opening up their summer season this Thursday January 24th.
