The Warwick Public Library Conimicut Branch functions as a community-focused neighborhood resource that provides print materials, children's storytimes, and seasonal family activities.

The Library, along with the Kentish Artillery Armory (now home to the Warwick Center for the Arts) and City Hall, are on the National Register of Historic Places as The Warwick Civic Center Historic District. Centrally located on Post Road in Apponaug, the historical granite building housing this branch of The Warwick Public Library is a throwback and has many niches and cozy spaces to read a book, tablet, or contemplate. Due to space limitations, the overall collections are comprehensive but limited; there is a computer available. Stories for kids 3-5 on Thursdays at 10 a.m. and many events are planned weekly. Closed Saturday and Sunday. Weekly hours vary; please check website. Street parking is available in front of the library with additional parking available in the two municipal lots behind the building.

The Society was established in 1932 and until 1965 met periodically in libraries, grange halls and private homes. At that time they learned that the John Waterman Arnold House (c1785) was scheduled to be demolished due in part to its rundown condition. The members approached the owners of the property and were granted the deed of ownership, and the Society is charged with the maintenance and upkeep of the property. It has undergone a number of renovations to bring it to its present state. The House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 and has been the headquarters of the Warwick Historical Society continuously since then. Furnishings in the house are from community members, who donated furnishings suitable to an 18th century house. The Arnold House is the only early historic building in Warwick open to the public at regular hours weekly throughout the year. Their collections include historical documents, memorabilia, and photos. The property is adjacent to the Pawtuxet Memorial Park cemetery.
A 126-acre park, located down Asylum Road to Steven O'Connor Boulevard. Saltwater beach, plus bathhouse and kiddie play area. There's also hiking and paved bicycle paths, ball fields, and even a stone circle for meditation and contemplation. Legend has it that the first clambakes took place here in the late 1800's. Oh, and don't forget Fido, Warwick City Park also has off-leash facilities for our four-legged family members!
