Wave-Field, Variation O SeeSaws at Seaport Square, next to Pier 17

by

 

As majority of institutions are currently closed to reduce exposure to COVID-19 and #flattenthecurve, some families may still want to stroll the neighborhood to get some fresh air. If playgrounds get too crowded, swing on by the 8 pop-up oversized seesaws. Our whole family of 5, including 2 adults, sat on 1 seesaw. The equipment, like at the playgrounds, have metal handlebars, and thus should be sanitized before each use.

Date: Daily through April 20th

Time: 10 a.m. — 9 p.m.

Location: Seaport Square, next to Pier 17

Fee: Free

Age(s): all ages welcome

Fidi Families Insiders: Come at night when the seesaws are lit up!
