The Spraydeck is OPEN; the Pool OPENS Saturday!

Stop by the park to cool off. The spraydeck is on. This Saturday, June 21 at 11:15am, the FREE pool opens. It will be open daily, 11:15am-6:45pm through August 17. If you ask DCR’s lifeguards for lap lanes in the morning or in the evening, they usually provide them…

It’s about 10 degrees cooler at the park under the big old shade trees and the red Adirondack chairs beckon.

Also, Mass Audubon’s Urban Nature Center is open weekends, noon to 7pm. (In July & August, it will also be open Monday, Tuesday and Friday, 12-6pm.)

Thanks, the Charles River Conservancy, for the colorful plantings at the spray deck. See you at the park!
