    Stopped here while exploring Providence and found some beautiful views. Explored the park a bit and it was pretty busy with bikes and dog walkers. Really nice place.

    Bridge over the river

    Moses schools and Seekonk Blackstone Park, or more properly Blackstone Conservation District, is a roughly 45 acre chunk of land that lies right up against the Seekonk River. It was deeded to the city way back in 1866 by Amos Brown, the guy that was cofounder of Brown University along with a whole bunch of other things. Not a whole lot is known about the history of the land before it became a park or what exactly Brown was doing with it, but it certainly is a lovely place. Most of it is high on a hill over looking the Seekonk River and I'm sure the Brown family appreciated the beauty of the land as much as people still do today. Most of the land is wooded with simple but well kept walking paths through them. Certainly nothing strenuous but an extremely nice place for a stroll, especially on the parts by the river. Lots of people bring their dogs here and some are well behaved and others a bit overly friendly, just like the their owners. Lots of mountain laurel grow in this area and in the spring the delicate white flowers add to the interest of the land. It's nice that the area is still open and used by the public after all these decades. Not sure what people saw when they looked down from the hill a hundred years ago but I suspect it was just as pleasant back then as it is today.

    I thought it'd be. Abteer park to walk around since we just ate. Instead, there were trails in the woods which we were not dressed for. There's not really paved trails at all. The views along river Rd were nice but again, no paved trails along the river. Overall, I'd try another park before returning to this one. Lots of people with dogs though.

    Quick jog in this beauty

    If you're just visiting RI, HIGHLY recommend adding this place on your to do list. For runners it's a great place for a light jog, for non runners it's a great place for a leisurely stroll. If you're deathly afraid of dogs though - prepare to see a few who are unleashed and roaming about with their owners. Lots of locals like to walk their dogs here, although for me this wasn't an issue.

    Great place to get your dog acclimated with others. Wood chip paths so you can even go after it rains

    Great place to take your dogs or children. It's safe and clean here. Even a decent biking trail if the weather is appropriate.

    Not only do you get the quietness of a forest but also a great view of the Seekonk River.
