Cass Park — Attraction in Woonsocket

Cass park is a nice place to walk my small dog. The wild life is surprising for such a small city park. Ducks and geese. There are a few Herons and turtles as well. People come to fish. The pond is stocked early in the season for a local fishing derby. For the most part it's clean. I make a habit of picking up trash each time I go. It is next to the high school so 2-3pm it's full of school age kids. So I usually go early a.m. before school or mid day when parents bring there little ones to the park area. It has an 'old reputation' for being full of a bad element. My experience the last 3 years is not that. Well at least at the times I'm there. The city has done quite a bite to spruce it up and maintain it. I would not go at dusk or in darkness. There have been people there when I have driven by after dark. Day time is always better regardless of where you walk. Always. I bring poop bags for my dog and always clean up. There are plenty of waste receptacles available. Hopefully everyone can be as conscientious as I am. It was an enjoyable experience today. However!!! Very important to lock your vehicle up and keep anything valuable in your trunk. I had an experience of having my car broken into there. Broad daylight, 1pm in the afternoon on a Saturday. Fortunately the police recovered my stolen property undamaged. They did take my change. I hope it...

Clean, safe park for everyone. Dogs are welcome in some areas (as long as pet owners are responsible, it'll stay that way) Basketball court as well as a soccer field. There's plenty of fish in the pond for fishing. No Ice skating during the winter months! Great walking paths for those who enjoy exercise, and two playgrounds, which were updated last year along with other areas of the park. One thing I really like about this park is that it's never crowded. There is plenty of parking too. Although it's rare to see wild animals grazing here, Cass park is home to turtles, egrets, swan, ducks,Beaver, Dear, Fisher-Cats, and lots of other RI wildlife. Unless you get up really early in the morning, you may catch a glimpse of some fury creatures. Summer weekends at Cass Park have many family events. Note: As of 2018 the state is still working on improvements and rebuilding the...

I especially love Cass Park Pond. It’s home to ducks, geese and a lone blue heron. The City of Woonsocket stocks the pond with trout and holds a fishing derby every Spring. Foliage and flowers, such as cattails, sweet flag (grass) and several wildflowers border the pond. Several granite benches are situated around the pathway and make it accessible for sitting and relaxing. The pond feeds a small river that flows down and to the south. There are swings, a basketball court, and baseball diamond also. Woonsocket High School is less than 100 feet from the park and the kids pour out of school and into the park in the afternoon. Trails lead back past the diamond and around the track where it’s wooded. Cass Park is a nice little park for the family, dog walkers, meditators...
