Took my son to Rocky Point Park in RI. A place I visited as a kid when it was a lively amusement park and can now explore with my kin. Revisiting old memories and making new ones! #abandoned #urbex #amusement #park #makingmemories #photography

Like most parks, Rocky Point is open from dawn to dusk. Unlike other parks, Rocky Point State Park is a shallow grave of a former amusement park. With some rolling hills, so woodsy trails and terrain, and some excellent waterfront view, it is the perfect place for a little Rhode Island exploration. Depending on which parking lot you park in and which entrance you meander through, you'll either see rocky shoreline, or sandy beach. One open field has what looks to be a structure that was once part of a large park, but that is adjacent a paved trail wide enough to share space with bikes. There is some technical trails adjacent the rocky shoreline that really carries with it some fun and distracting terrain. The issue is that the park is small enough that about 30 minutes of jogging covers a majority of the connecting trail system. However, there is some sandy beach both south and north of the park, accessing either private shoreline, or a road that may eventually connect to a park north of Rocky Point. Bring a dog, bring a family, it's diverse enough that you'll find enough natural wonders that you might want to examine it more. Recommended, definitely good for a picnic

What a great place for a little nostalgia. This is where the amusement Park Rocky Point used to be. There are still a number of pieces of old rides from the Rocky Point Park that are still up that you can check out. They have a number of very large fields that you can definitely play baseball, soccer or game of football on. Pretty open with a little bit of woods here and there. There is one section where you can walk up to where the Gondolier used to be and there's a number of large rocks you can climb and even a couple of little caves you can check out. They do have a number of walking paths. There is a little bit of a beach and then they have a really nice Pier that you can go out on. We saw a number of people fishing off the pier or just checking out the view of the bay. It's a pretty cool Park, well worth spending a little bit of time here and checking it all out.

I last visited Rocky Point State Park in May. This site was an amusement park but is now managed by Rhode Island State Parks (RISP) with funding from the City of Warwick and the Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM). Together, these organizations have transformed the area into a kite flying field, oceanfront beach, and ADA compliant trails, along with supporting the Rocky Point Park Pathways Project by Leadership Rhode Island. Since 2017, a series of pathway signs detail the history of the park using text and images. For an affordable, family-friendly day away filled with easy walking and plenty of signage, you can't beat a trip down to Rocky Point State Park. With plenty of park benches and space to bring your own beach chair, you will have no trouble finding a place to relax once you have read your fill of history facts.
