Ruggles Park — Attraction in Fall River

Ruggles is a nice park for it's open space, huge trees and benches to have a seat. As well as a nice little playground area and some swings. Up the hill is a basketball court in it's own space with a great few of the park. The sidewalks are cared for and I love how they wrap around and go up the hill. The softball field is a really cool. We had lots of fun getting some swings in. It's also a good place to try out a drone.. just enough. People skate , roller blade , skate board on the sidewalks. Some kids bring their battery powered ride on toys. Kids can also enjoy riding their scooters too. The park has squirrels all the way around. People walk their dogs and I didn't see any on the sidewalks, so that's a plus . I've never seen it littered up. Parks and Recreation does a great job keeping it looking good. I really would love to see a few more maples for their fall colors and shade. It would be a great place to plant some flowering plants and maybe something fragrant here and there. The birds and butterflies increasing would be awesome. There's an ice cream shop and 2 convenience stores nearby. A pizza place really close by. Across the street is the Veterans headquarters. People are donating and coming and going. I'm new to the area but that's a great spot for a farmers market setup. I don't know if they have that. It's a great place to spend time with the kids playing outdoors. We all sleep better after a trip to the park. Simply visiting a park makes everyone feel better most the time. A good place to take off your shoes and ground yourself for anyone into that. It's also a great place to read a book or simply meditate. I've seen people spread a blanket out and have a picnic with the baby on a blanket. There's so much a park can offer and Ruggles is a pretty decent park overall. It's got it's on beauty. Please someone plant some bulbs or butterfly bushes and flowering plants. More colors would make it extra special right ? Simply an idea. Maybe a few more benches. Which by the way , there have been more benches added in a few other places I know of. That's a real blessing for the people of Fall River. I would like to Thank everyone that makes Ruggles Park what it is. A great neighborhood park.. And... thanks for all the new benches...

This block is actually kind of sad. Only has one little playground, a broken down dog kennel. A baseball field that never be used. No one never comes here. Violence in the basketball court with miners. And teams that think they own it. It would be nice to put a water sprinkler down here to bring some excitement to this side of the area. No baseball games. No basketball games. A broken dog canal. A swamp in the middle of the field. Fall river Finest sleep in this park on the benches. And drug dealing on the side, streets of the gas station up-and-down by the church and by the veterans memorial veterans...

Im sorry but it would be a nice park if it didn't inhabitant a bunch of strung out people looking for dealers in the area. Terrible place for a park. Its to bad.. My children would not be running around there. The homeless also decide to be here in this area. I feel bad for homeless that truly have a reason and believe me it could happen to any of us. To shay these people are homeless because crack and heroine came before their rent and they cant get housing because of their records. The coty gets worse and worse ur by...
