At one time, all Rotch had to offer was a homeless man exchanging a night on his mattress for $5.
Today, Rotch Playground, a Boston Parks and Recreation Department facility, is free of its lurid past. There is no evidence of its infamous late-night mattress rentals or the once poorly manicured field. What is seen today is an NCAA-sanctioned multi-use athletic field covered in safer artificial turf, a lighting system that is Web-programmable, bathroom and locker room facilities, and an on-site manager seven days a week.
Boston boasts Rotch Playground as its most environmentally friendly and high-tech facility, not costing the city a single penny to renovate.
