Discovering Roger Williams Park

HOURS
Sat, May 5; 3pm-4:30pm 

MEETING POINT
Monument to Roger Williams (at the Park’s Elmwood Avenue entrance, past the Casino)

ENDING POINT
Same as Meeting Point

WALK DESCRIPTION

The walk will explore some of the history, venues, sculpture, and landscape of the Park and engage participants in a lively discussion: Many parks, like Roger Williams Park, were created over a century ago. How do we care for these spaces today? How do we preserve the best of the past while meeting the needs of the future?
