Crime?
Looks to me like a rotten bench that just needs fixin'.

Not DCR
Comm. Ave. Mall is part of Boston Parks.
But boston parks has no money
So all theae benches were endowed by neighbors about 15 years ago. The repairs will probably be made from the Comm Ave Mall committee, i.e. private funds.
Yes, the Friends of the Public Garden
support the Mall and maintenance and improvements.
The Parks Dept. is underfunded. Come to the next City Council hearing on the Parks Dept. budget and ask for more money (or submit comments). The City should be adequately supporting its parks and not rely on private donations. It is frustrating.
My point was that it was a city and not a DCR property.
But no assistance from the state
Parks have been a city + state venture for decades now. Its intentionally grey
Accidental damage?
Someone leaned back and it fell apart?
Yeah
Or sat on the top with their feet on the bench. Not uncommon.
Leaned on the bench from behind?
While standing?
I did this once and two of the slats broke loose - rotted at the ends (water got in around where they are fastened).
Maybe
It’s just another piece of artwork looking like a bench?
Possible. But where's the fog
