NYC Frog Project on the Road

Frog Pond, Boston Common
Boston, MA

In the winter, the Frog Pond is a skating rink; in the summer it seems to be a wading pool.

This vintage postcard shows what it looked like in the early 20th century.










Today, these two frogs keep watch on the goings-on.  Created by David Phillips (2002) and called "Frogs in Common," they are part of a series that extends to the nearby Tadpole Playground.

 

Just inside the Tadpole Playground is this mosaic, dedicated to David J. McGrath by his daughter.

And the gates to the playground have these smaller mosaics built into them.
