Located right in the heart of the historic Boston Common (steps from Tadpole Playground). In the summer, the giant concrete pond transforms into a massive, free public wading pool with a huge water plume spray in the center. An antique carousel sits right next to it. Crucial Parent Tip: The public restrooms and changing rooms are located right in the adjacent pavilion building.
