Reply to comment by ZippityZooZaZingZo in Cost to skate at the Frog Pond by Ilikereddit15

Almost $30 a kid on city property for 1 hr is exorbitant, no? I get your points, though, and realize I can choose to go elsewhere

The rate is high because people are willing to pay it. I’m not sure the skate rentals are handled by the city. Could be a private company.

i think asking whether boston parks are accessible to bostonians is very reasonable. a compromise could be to have discounts for bostonians the way other cities do. many cities even have free admissions for city residents.

The Frog Pond is managed by the Skating Club of Boston, which may be the ones also setting the prices. Anyone wanting to use it on a regular basis is better off buying a cheap pair of skates.
