Facility Notes
This facility has not had a Boston-residents-only restriction in the past, but we found out about when we checked out the center's website during a heat wave in June, 2025. We don't know whether the restriction is permanent, applicable only for the summer or otherwise. We checked a couple of other BCYF locations and found that they werre still open to non-Boston residents.
