I want ed to take the 72 bus line there but I don't know how to get there and afraid to get onto that bus as a result of some other passenger 's rudeness of interrupting me and the bus driver as I am trying to talk to the bus driver. That person does tend to distract me as she or he is deliberately talking out of turn asking the driver inappropreate questions as I am trying to ask directions. She or he is getting an inappropreate conversation with the busdriver while I am trying to get directions to the public pool. If I get to the pool the same thing may or may not happen as I get there, I could run into some trouble where some kids could knock me down and or I could get some of my proprprty stolen from me while I am either at the rest room or in the pool! We need more police patroling the area and I need a trolley to take me there as soon as I get the bus into Pawtucket from Providence!

In the summer they offer family entertainment with various performers and music. They also offer a summer camp for kids as well as various exercise and dance classes for adults. All this information can be found on their website. The hidden gem of this park is its winter wonderland celebration where the community comes together to decorate 650+ Christmas trees along with displays and lights, it's absolutely magical. The park is clean and well maintained and is constantly undergoing updates and improvements. The one down side is there's only 1 small basketball court even though there is space to expand this area.

The Slater Park Looff Carousel is a historic carousel that was completed in 1895. It was built by…read moreDanish immigrant Charles I. D. Looff. He was born as Carl Jürgen Detlef Looff in Bad Bramstedt, Holstein (now Germany) in 1852. After immigrating to the United States in 1870 at the age of 18, Looff settled in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and found work as a carver for a furniture factory. He began a hobby of taking home leftover wood scraps from the factory and carving them into carousel animals. He created his first carousel in 1876 and it became Coney Island's first carousel and amusement ride. Looff soon opened his own carousel factory in Brooklyn and continued to build more of the rides. In 1886, Looff was commissioned to build a carousel for Crescent Park (known as "the Coney Island of the East") in Rhode Island. In 1895, he moved his family there and established a new headquarters. He built a second, larger and more elaborate carousel for the amusement park. He also built an adjoining workshop and showroom for prospective buyers. Looff relocated to California in 1910 so he could build carousels for amusement parks on the West Coast. He passed away in 1918 after building close to 50 carousels. Looff is regarded as one of the most important and influential carousel builders of all time. The Slater Park Carousel was originally built for a carnival called Lee Funland in upstate New York. It was moved to Slater Park in 1910 where it still stands today. It is one of only six historic carousels in the United States which still resides in its original building. The carousel is a "stander" or stationary carousel. This means that the animal figures are designed to stand on the platform with at least three legs on the ground and they don't move up and down. This contrasts with "jumper" figures which usually move up and down and have all four legs elevated as if in mid-gallop. The Slater Park Carousel is the oldest Looff-stander carousel in the world. The platform features 44 horses, a camel, a giraffe, a lion, three dogs, and two chariots. Today the carousel is open from April through October. It operates on Saturdays and Sundays from 12pm - 5pm (daily in July and August). Rides cost $1. My family and I recently visited the Slater Park Looff Carousel. My wife and I have been carousel enthusiasts since we visited the New England Carousel Museum a few years ago. We were spending the day in the Greater Providence Area and decided to visit the Crescent Park Looff Carousel in Riverside (which is absolutely beautiful!) We learned that Charles Looff built another carousel in 1895 that was located nearby at Slater Park, so we made a drive there afterwards. We were a little disappointed that the Slater Park Carousel's horses don't move up and down and that there isn't a brass ring device like the one featured on the Crescent Park Carousel. That being said, the Slater Park Carousel is still exceptional. All of the horses and menagerie animal figures have been beautifully carved and painted. We also noticed that this carousel moves quite fast (about 9 mph). In fact, the speed has been slowed down over the years and used to be as high as 14 mph. Overall, we had a fun experience at the Slater Park Looff Carousel and would recommend carousel enthusiasts to visit it as well as the nearby Crescent Park Looff Carousel.

Great food, drinks and amenities like clean restrooms, a sensory room and VIP areas. A bit pricey as expected at just about any stadium these days, on average with tax and tip about 15$ per beer and 25$ for a Reuben sandwich. I wish there were more covered areas especially at the entrance where guests queue to enter the park. There are certain sections that seem to catch more shade because of the layout of the stadium and how the sun gets blocked. We got pretty lucky! Also got lucky on the date choice because the rivalry was awesome. Ct vs Ri. Being born and raised in Ri and now living in Ct it was great just rooting for an awesome match. Indeed it was awesome with a final score of 0-0 Definitely worth visiting!! Cheers

During anytime a day you can see many people walking and enjoying the park and many bringing their dogs so they have a place to run and play. The loop path for walking is a little over a half of a mile long, starting at the entrance gates and continuing through a large grassy area with many large old trees. The path turns to the right through the wooded area for a bit. The path then continues back into the field and towards the entrance gate. The path is paved for the most part but the pavement is not in good condition so it's not the best part for strollers or wheelchair users. Wanskuck House sits on this property and is currently the home to Providence's artist-in-residence program. The land of Wanskuck Park was donated to the city of Providence in 1948 by the widow of Senator Jesse Metcalf. The land was part of their estate and informally became known as Metcalf Park. A 25-acre park, it includes an open grass field, walking trails through woods, and paths surrounded by a nice stone wall.
