Parks and Recreation's : Duck Boat Pull

Let's Pull Together for Youth Sports! 

April 12, 2025
2025-04-12T11:00:00 - 2025-04-12T15:00:00

Get ready for an unforgettable challenge at the Boston Parks and Recreation's First Annual Duck-Boat-Pull —a brand-new event taking place in the heart of the Boston Common, where teams of 10 will race against the clock to pull a 21,000-pound duck boat across a designated course. Think you've got what it takes to out-pull the competition?

This exciting event isn’t just about muscle—every pull you make directly benefits local youth sports and fitness programs that keep our kids active, healthy, and thriving. All proceeds go toward funding essential sports leagues, tournaments, and fitness initiatives managed by the Boston Parks and Recreation Department for all of Boston’s youth.

This event is in partnership with the Boston Duck Tours.
