Really nice hiking trails for being smack dab in the middle of a highly populated area. Even got lost at one point, so there is plenty of space. Not too many people on the trails. The most difficult parts of the trail would be considered extremely simple for most real hikers, but if you just want to be surrounded by nature or get a good view of the city, this is an excellent spot.

This place has a lot of great memories and I will cherish them forever. At one time it did say no dogs allowed until I took a chance and noticed other dogs were also there that was 16 years ago when I had my first golden retriever his name was Leo the first. Back then there were many jokes that big and small and thats nice old man that lived directly across the street from the small baseball field decided to make up a calendar of some of the dogs that would go there on a daily basis. My husband and I couldnt mention the word Park without Leo getting all excited because we spent every morning and afternoon there for the eight years that he lived and that was where we took him when we noticed that he was not acting attentively and thought something might be wrong, when we arrived he wasnt himself he didnt jump out of the van and go running around like he was still a little puppy, we went to PetSmart to see the vet where are we were told he had a seizure and the veterinarian called ahead to Ocean State that hospital in East Greenwich we werent sure what was happening when we arrived they took him in immediately and after 10 minutes told us that he had a tumor growing out of the back of his head oh, we knew what we had to do shall we chat with him while he was given dont even the medication for euthanasia. A year later we had Leo II which by the way he is also 8 years now and thriving and also loves Neuticarnicut. He Loves the park just as much as his contract end so does my grandson Landon who is turning six in a few days and it was soon to become a family place for us all to meet up and run around and play and that includes my father-in-law Geno. Sadly after many years of fun and play there he passed away last December 21st 2019 of natural causes and we lost the heart and soul of our family. So we thought... Then I realized when one family member leaves another comes to step up and because I think because of his presence he holds this family together and that is Leo the second. We dont go there every single day like we used too, were all getting a little bit old too... I know that I will be there with Leo on the 21st of December go say a prayer for Gino and then run around and play as usual. Maybe one day my grandson will take his children there to play and just maybe still have the dog that loves it as much as mine does..

Really friendly place for kids. I witnessed a young boy riding a pink bike (not that there is anything wrong with that) get encouraged to do his thing by the local guys shredding the place up. That to me is what America is all about. More likely than not the kid just needs a cool bike hint hint if you see him lol.

Can’t find many good hiking spots in Rhode Island, but this is one of them. There’s plenty of trails to explore, ranging in difficulty to accommodate all. There’s also a ton of overlooks with a great view of downtown Providence. I went here in the winter, and while it was nice that I was one of, if not the only person there, it was also quite icy in some spots. Can’t wait to check this place out once it warms up!

Nice trails but ATVs are not allowed on trails and they still go and ride their motorcycles up there. Which in turn damages the trails.

Living the city life wishing for hiking trails without having to travel an hour to get to one? We were so pleasantly surprised by the sense of remoteness of the trails. There are many trails, all levels of difficulty, and are well maintained!

Nice unexpected location for some quiet time in the woods and nature. Nice well kept trails. I would recommend keeping an image of the trail map on you because trail blazes are not super frequent or consistent but easy to follow with the map as reference.

Its a really great wooded area with trails. Its wilderness in the city. The negative is that I had the impression that it wasnt located in a safe area. Im a temp resident to Providence/Johnston RI but as I was parking, a PO was on a call just across the street. It was midday. I would not go there alone. I went with my dogs.

Excellent place for a hike or a run. Its a nice escape from the normal hustle and bustle of the local area. The nature is beautiful winter, spring, summer and fall. Theres a few areas on the trails that are truly photo worthy. Best of all is the view from the top of the big hill. You can see the entire downtown area of providence and I think its extremely photogenic. Trail runners would love this place. Lots of friendly people on the trails!

And I thought the only view was from Prospect St. There are some very good trails here. Ive been going here at least once a week since I moved from Texas. The only thing I think that is missing would be a disc golf course.

Review №47

I had no idea this place existed and Im so glad I found it. It really is a hidden gem right in the middle of the city. It is by no means an easy hike. I would categorize it as hard easy to easy intermediate if that even makes sense. We completed probably about 75% of the trails and were done in about an hour and 15 minutes. Its quite hilly and rocky which is both beautiful and a workout. The view overlooking the city at the top put a smile on our faces. My six year old son conquered it even if there was a little whining involved. It had character and the trails were fairly well marked in that you stopped and questioned a couple of times but not enough so that this nervous nelly couldnt figure her way out. I really enjoyed the bridges and boardwalks even if they werent warranted today since it was so dry. The Mosquitos were ravenous even with our tripled layer of bug spray, but it was definitely an enjoyable afternoon.

Hiking trails tucked right in Providence. Nice looping trails through a wooded area with some small water features. Trails are fairly well marked once you get on them. The terrain is rocky and can be quite steep in spots. Positives: convenient location if you live in that part of Providence and hiking to the top does give you a nice view of the city. Negatives: this is an urban park so you never get deep enough in to escape the traffic noise and there is some graffiti here and there along the trails.

Great natural space in an urban location. The playground was great. Sand underfoot so littles dont get hurt. I did clean up some trash but there were cans everywhere. We went up the steep paved hill and searched for nature treasures! It was a great afternoon and we will be going back!

Outside Providence is one of my favorite movies. So when I found out that one of the scenes was filmed here curiosity led me to visit the park. Luckily there are guided tours of the parks trails once a month (check their Facebook page for more info). Being unfamiliar with the park we opted for a tour which was very informative. This is the largest natural forest in Providence! An absolute treasure in an urban area. The views of the city and beyond are spectacular. Watch out and check for ticks on both humans and canines.

This park has a playground and skateboard area, basketball court, and baseball fields. The best part is the hill. Its great for hiking and theres lots of wildlife up there. Deer, chipmunks, squirrels, and rabbits to name a few. The view from the top of the hill is awesome. All of Providence can be seen! Theres so much to explore on the hill ️

Large park with great views and lots of hiking trails. There is a detailed map of these trails and they are well marked by colored blazes. There is also a baseball field, playground, skate park and 2 hills for sledding. I enjoy shooting pictures here. Hidden gem in the Providence area.

Good spot to go if you live in Providence and want to hike in the trees. The trails can be a little difficult to navigate but there are maps in a couple places and colored trail markers to follow. Easy trails, a couple steep points. Yields good views of the city. I could see this getting crowded on weekends.

Went there with some friends on a muddy day. Explored a little. There are some okay trails. I know this place is bigger than what we saw. Definitely surrounded by dense living area, next to skate park. Will go back and check it out again when weather is nicer.

OMG I set up sometimes on the sidewalk over there to have a sidewalk sale. I am across the street from there at the flea market. This week I was on the ballpark site under a tree. Come and see me either at the flea market or me at the park Im always set up usually on a Sunday unless it rains. I like it because it has a pool and it reminds me of when I was a kid I used to go there many moons ago. And its good for the kids because that keeps them from getting into trouble.
