Spring is the perfect time to get outside, and Warwick has no shortage of scenic parks to explore. Whether you’re in the mood for a shoreline stroll, wooded trails, or a family-friendly beach day, these six parks show off the best of Warwick in bloom.
Belmont Park
Belmont Park, tucked along the Pawtuxet River, offers a peaceful riverside escape that’s perfect for a laid-back spring afternoon. The park features open playing fields, a short walking path ideal for a casual stroll, and a kayak launch that gives you direct river access—great for paddling on a mild spring day. It's also a hidden gem for birders and nature photographers, with plenty of wildlife activity along the water’s edge.
Conimicut Point Park
This outdoor gem offers some of the best bay views and beaches in town, with a clear look at the historic Conimicut Lighthouse (not open to visitors). The park has open green spaces, picnic tables, and a beach area where you can dip your toes in on warmer days. Bring a kite—there’s usually a great breeze!
Goddard Memorial State Park
Goddard Memorial State Park is a springtime favorite for locals and visitors alike. With expansive lawns, forested groves, and shoreline views, the park features over 60 species of deciduous trees and nearly 20 varieties of evergreens, making it a beautiful place to take in the season.
Whether you're up for a peaceful stroll, a family picnic, or something more active, Goddard has it all—hiking trails, stroller-friendly paths, saltwater fishing spots, and even an accessible boat ramp.
The park also boasts a nine-hole golf course, 18 miles of bridle trails, game fields, a beach area for swimming, and C and L Stables for equestrian fun. Concerts and events often take place at the on-site performing arts center, adding to the lively spring energy.
Oakland Beach
While it's more of a summer hotspot, spring is the perfect time to visit Oakland Beach without the crowds. Grab a casual bite at one of the nearby restaurants, and take in the salty air. It’s a great low-key way to welcome the warmer months. In summer, a lifeguard is on duty, making it a safe spot for swimming and family beach days.
Rocky Point State Park
A coastal treasure for over 150 years, Rocky Point has evolved into one of Rhode Island’s most beloved state parks. With its sweeping views of Narragansett Bay and a wide, paved shoreline path, it’s ideal for walking, running, biking, or even rollerblading.
The park is stroller-friendly and pet-friendly, making it a great spot for families of all kinds. Birders and saltwater anglers will find plenty to enjoy here, and there’s no shortage of space for a spring picnic with friends or family.
Amenities include an accessible fishing pier, restroom facilities, and plenty of open green space to stretch out and soak up the sunshine.
Warwick City Park
This 126-acre park is a go-to for families and fitness lovers. Enjoy the three-mile walking and biking loop, let the kids run wild at the playground, or head to the small beach area to watch the tide roll in. In spring, the wooded trails are bursting with greenery and birdsong.
