Wilson Park — Attraction in North Kingstown

Love this playground and so do my kids--big modern and lots to do.The splash pad is a great addition but drainage and overspray were not considered at all. The concrete on the splash pad is slick with brown red and green slimy algae. Three quarters of the area around the concrete circle of the splash pad are mud. It's really gross and has been like this at least the three years we've been coming here. My daughter just wiped out on the slick and scraped her knees while simultaneously doing the splits. This part has me most concerned, as last year I heard through the grapevine that a kid had gotten cut or scraped on the splash pad and contacted some sort of non-healing staph infection or the like. Who knows?? Wouldn't be surprised?? We keep coming. The splash pad needs a bunch of work to make it less nasty. Extended concrete, maybe concrete benches around the edge so water is forced to go down toward the drain....also maintenance to come often to scrub the slick off the concrete and sanitize. I live in PVD and this one is by far the grossest splash pad...

Her dad asked if he is okay. Of course he is not! I was so upset to answer that silly question. WITHOUT saying sorry, that family just left! Leaving my son crying his heart out. And when I took my son out to our car. I saw her dad buying her an ice cream as if she did something worth rewarding. In short, parents should be really careful in case you come across with...

This is a really great park, looked like it had well taken care of lawns, basketball courts, tennis courts, playground with splash pad, and picnic tables. My kid had a great time exerting energy before nap time. It included bigger kid equipment but also equipment suitable for younger toddlers, like ourselves. One star off because there WAS visible litter in the playground mulch - cups, tissues, snack trash etc. that the toddlers kept trying to pick up while playing. I wish In would have had a trash bag and gloves or a trash picker-upper to clean up while I walked around - It was so nice I felt like I should have been on clean up duty while I was there to keep it nice for...
