Foss Field Skating Rink
When weather conditions allow, we will be installing the Foss Field Ice Rink once again on the soccer field next to Back Bay at the end of Glendon St. We need just enough snow to create snow banks, as well as cold temps to make the ice--the conditions just haven't been right lately. We'll send word out once it is complete. Here's a picture of the rink from last year (scroll down to "Foss").

Take care,
Ethan
