Interactive Kaleidoscope Garden replaces glowing swings at the Lawn on D

The glowing oval swings that graced the Lawn on D in South Boston have been replaced with an interactive vision-bending display.

Officials with the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority, which operates the Lawn on D and commissioned the popular swings, said in a statement that wear and tear, and a lack of replacement swings, led to the display’s retirement.

Kaleidoscope Garden, the newly opened art installation, invites visitors to walk through a field of illuminated discs that change color with the movement of the wind and surround a mirror kaleidoscope. Sarah Brophy and Katherine Chin co-designed the exhibit in partnership with Perkins&Will, a Boston-based design studio.

“There’s nothing more rewarding to me than seeing a city-kid on a boat for the first time — smiling, confident, and amazed after catching their first fish. To keep our program running, we rely on the generosity and support of programs like the MCCA’s Community Partnership Grants. Their commitment to community programs, particularly youth programs, makes our small operation and all those smiles possible.”
