Nice place. Plenty of nice restaurants to choose from. Grab your bike, park in Warren, and ride to the park. 4 miles, nice scenery, local restaurants, no chains.

Really nice place that is at the end of the bike trail in Bristol RI. It sits on the edge of the Bristol harbor we’re boats are moored.A lot of people go to seafood restaurant next door and eat there.It’s kind of weird the the rows of seats are always clean with the seagulls around!I ride there on my bike from Swansea Ma and have a snack before riding back home.Seats are right after the boat ramp on the right off the sidewalk.

A cool park for the whole family. With lots of amenities, and places to go, this park is truly a hidden jewel and a must visit if you are in the area. It is located at the start of a pleasant bike trail and the beach does not disappoint. There are also often carnivals and fairs located there that can be fun for a fun night out. Definitely would recommend visiting.

When riding the east bay bike path you can end your ride here or have this be the midway point. There were a bunch of food trucks and a giant stage set up for a nice free show. Seems like a nice clean place. Kids swimming in the water, older folks in their lawn chairs on the green. Nice place

Beautiful. Not that busy. Great way to be at the ocean and avoid the crowds.

Great location!!! Located at the end of the East Bay Bike Path in scenic Bristol RI, this small park, more or less a town square really, offers some benches with nice views of Bristol harbor. There is some parking, although when there are events, parking becomes a bit of an issue, since you must resort to street parking on neighboring streets. We just enjoyed a free concert at Independence Park, benefitting the Bristol 4th of July parade. There were probably three thousand people and it was an enjoyable family friendly event. There are a couple of eateries surrounding the park, including the obligatory seafood, ice cream etc. as well as some nice sit-down restaurants. Check it out if in the area.
