Rocky Point Park is the site of the long-standing Rocky Point Amusement Park, which operated from the 1840s until it closed in 1995. It has now been preserved as a public park by the City of Warwick and the State of Rhode Island and is open to the public for picnics, hikes with or without a four-legged companion, or just taking in the view of Narragansett Bay. While you’re there, check out the Arch from the 1964 World’s Fair in Queen, NY, which was relocated to Rocky Point, and signs scattered throughout the property that tell the story of the park’s rich history. Take only pictures, leave only footprints. Open daily from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Rocky Point: From Apponaug, take Rte. 117 east about 4.5 miles to right on Warwick Neck Avenue to left on Rocky Point Avenue to end, left on Palmer Avenue to entrance to park.
