Doherty Playground Splash Dance Party Set Thursday

The community is invited to celebrate the Charlestown park's reopening with free music, ice cream and more on Thursday, July 18.

Doherty Playground in Charlestown reopened Tuesday following several months of renovations.

In celebration of the reopening—and in an effort to help townies keep cool during this hot summer weather—the City of Boston is hosting a Splash Dance Party on Thursday, July 18 from 12-1 p.m. at the playground.

The event will include music and dancing in the park’s water spray, free Hoodsies from the Boston Police Department, free Hawaiian leis from the Boston Parks Department and free sun block from the Boston Public Health Commission, according to a parks official.
