    I've been living in North Providence for almost ten years and I have never explored this park. I was amazed by how clean it was. It looked like they had restrooms as well. I wish the park had a nicer pedestrian path but besides that I enjoyed my walk through this park.

    Governor Notte has been in my life for around 6 years now. I have come here so many times and had so many great memories here. It doesn't matter what season you come it's always so clean here and just a relaxing place to be. It's well up kept which I appreciate and everyone who seems to come here has respect and I appreciate that. They do have a tennis court, place to go fishing ( not sure if it's legal or not but people do), a place to swim during summer time, a baseball field and a children's playground area. It's not huge but it's big enough for our little town. They do have a concession stand who's run by Bobby and he's pretty cool, he's really nice and has amazing prices. This place is like a sanctuary to me. The grass is always so nice and the Views are always amazing. They have a very small maybe 10 car parking lot beside the park where the tennis court is but if you follow the signs you can find the bigger parking lot. Give it a go, make memories for free.

    Small park, took me a while to find this place. Of note, the address mentioned here isn't accurate. Nice spot to take pics of the waterfalls with the bridge at sunset. Otherwise just a quiet place to relax or take your dog for a walk. Also there's a small beach and playground.

    I live down the road from the park and go walking there quite a bit. It's fairly Clean and it looks like they are sprucing it up. There's a new tennis court being put in and the buildings are being worked on also. The only thing I wish is that maybe the bathrooms were open during the day. Maybe it is off season so they aren't open yet but it's still a nice scenic place to walk.

    Love this park. Lots to see and it seems like there is always a Town event happening during the Spring thru the Fall. A freshwater beach with a concession stand. A ball field as well as a small playground and a modest walking trail. A two net tennis court also. Really scenic views for a North Providence location. Ample parking as well.

    This is one of my favorite hiking places! It's in North Providence where I grew up and they have added trails that wrap all around the water. The best part of this place is the 4th of July fireworks they have the fireworks and little festival net the park!

    The pond becomes a nice beach in the summer time.

    I love to visit this park. The pond is beautiful in every season and it becomes a lovely place to swim in the summer. At certain times of the year the sand can become smelly so I avoid swimming on those occasions. The playground is shady and well maintained. The parking lot on Douglass Ave makes the park easy to access and the walk from the car to the pond and playground includes a bridge over a waterfall. The bathrooms, when open, are adequate. Bring hand sanitizer if the bathroom is closed and you need the port-a-potty. This is a nice place to take children- though easier if they're potty-trained.

    I didn't think such a nice scenic space could exist so close to Charles street!!! Found this place over the summer and enjoyed it, but even more serene and enjoyable in the fall - few to no other people here, and the colors are beautiful. Great place to go for a short walk, take pictures, sit and relax with a book and a coffee. Playground and swings at the waterfront area as well now.

    View of the beach from the shade!

    Nice clean little beach! Great place to bring the kids to swim in the fresh waters of Twin River. The cost is$2 for N. Prov. residents and $6 for non-residents. Kids under 10 are free. They have a lifeguard on duty till 6pm. They have lots of shaded areas with picnic tables. There are nice walking trails. They have a small and a bigger parking lots. They have a snack bar with reasonable prices for hot dog, burgers and snacks. They also have a playground. The kids are in love with this place.

    Looking for some fresh air despite the frigid 18 degree weather, I found myself walking the Quonset…read moreBike Path to Calf Pasture Point Beach. Snow crunching underfoot, it was approximately 4 to 5 miles round trip from the parking lot at the bike path to the sand and waters, then back again. This was a peaceful jaunt... be it the weather or the distance from lot to beach. Maintained by the town of North Kingstown, this beach offers views of East Providence to Jamestown and southward. This natural habitat offers an abundance of wildlife. Birds galore! Gulls, ducks, hawks. I'm told that it is best to avoid this hike in times of high tide as it makes traversing the beach area difficult if not impassable. In seeing the water line today, I can assure you this is so. Beautiful sights, lapping waters. The sound of wind, waves, and waterfowl. A place to consider visiting.

    I found this place years ago, but I always forget about it…read more Calf Pasture Beach is one of those hidden gems of Rhode Island because it doesn't have a lot of what people are looking for in a beach. First, you can't park at the beach. Unless you live in the neighborhood, the only way to access this beach is to park at the Davisville Bike Path parking lot and walk/bike the 1.3 miles to the beach. Second, there are no facilities here - no bathrooms, no food, no nothing. This is nature - beach, rocks, water, grass. For these reasons this is a place to go when we want to get away from it all. If you walk the loop (bike path to beach - walk the length of the beach - through the forest, back to bike path), it's about 4 miles. Take a towel and some snacks and make it a walk/swim for a nice day out. At the end of the day, you'll find a lot of locals clamming for their dinner.
