    Troll in woods
    Rawn D.

    After hearing that Ryan Park had a Troll exhibit in one of its trails, I decided to go and take pictures of it. Nice walk and clean walk. From Oak Hill parking lot, the troll is about 5 minutes up trail. Not too crowded so I was able to get some good pictures. I continued up trail past troll and there wasn't much other than scenery. However, trail does loop and there is a wooden bridge that I opted not to see ...maybe next time.

    Right in the heart of North Kingstown is Ryan Park. And what a nice set of easy trails to run and hike in (the NK high school x-country team often trains here). There are many marked - and as many unmarked - trails to follow but never fear about getting lost; just go in a straight line and eventually you'll hit a familiar road or landmark and easily re-orient yourself. Our favorite walk skirts Belleville Pond and includes the charming Rainbow footbridge which affords scenic and peaceful views of the water. On this mild winter day, we enjoyed it's tranquility and had the place all to ourselves! Great place for bird-watching as well.

    My new favorite hiking spot! If you follow the dirt road past the sports fields you can park and hike around the pond! I saw a lot of kids playing hockey on the ice and a lot of people walking their dogs. So beautiful! I'll be heading back'nnn

    A dumpy place for a hike Ryan Park is a 350 acre park that circles around Belleville Pond. It use to be a dump where all kinds of horrible stuff was left but the wise minds in the town of North Kingstown decided to clean it up and turn it into a park. A wise idea indeed. The hiking is very easy with no hills and very few obstacles to navigate around. It is still very pleasant, especially in the winter where the park is a great place to snow shoe or cross country ski You can just do the trail around the pond or just meander around the various trials at random. It's difficult to get lost here because you always end up somewhere. A very nice place to bring kids or older people for a little exercise and a taste of what the woods are like. No, it's not a place for a strenuous hike or some serious exercise. This is a very pleasant and gentle place to get in a couple of miles of hiking in a very easy and nice forest. It may not be the most exciting hike in the state but it certainly is much better than a dump.

    Beautiful, large park with many different sections. A great boardwalk by the narrow beach. A…read morewonderful place to take dogs, lots of benches to take rests, and an ample parking lot whose potholes were recently fixed, yay! Sometimes it's hard to find out what part of the park you're meant to meet someone in since there are so many sections. You can walk along the long beach or try a woodsy hiking trail. The trails on the right of the beach have either steps or a gradual slope to get up to the top of them, and you can look down over a small cliff to see the water below. The trails on the left of the gazebo are beautiful and give you many options, but people ride horses here, so be mindful of the droppings! This park has fantastic sunsets and multiple picnic areas, plus multi Porta potties that are usually in decent condition to use if needed. The bridge is great to look at, but can get crowded with families doing holiday photo shoots in the fall, so I've become wary of coming here since being stuck on one side of the bridge while a family made us wait to cross until they were done with pictures (ugh). I've come here for walks/hikes and even to wade at multiple times of year and always enjoy a beautiful day and peaceful experience here.

    What a great state park. Great trails to take your dogs on. Horseback riding is so fun. They have…read moresuch a big area you can do picnics you can just do a nice walk. There is a small beach not to be like oh my God this is amazing, but it's still a great place to spend the day.

The basketball courts aren't much use though as one of the courts only has one basket and the second has none. Tucked at the end of a neighborhood this is also easy to get to.

    Festina Lente…read more Signal Rock Park is a cool park tucked in a wooded area at the very end of Signal Rock Road. I suspect not many people just happen by the park, it's well hidden and is actually quite a bit larger than it first looks. The park is the home to two nice baseball fields that obviously get a lot of use. The baseball diamonds dominate the park so much that it's easy to miss what's lurking in the other, less used parts. If you go up the hill from the baseball area you will find a basketball court and a cool area that kids have turned into a mini skate park. Just some old steps from some long forgotten something, creative young minds turned it into a great place to test the laws of physics.. The park isn't really large enough for any hiking but a stroll along the perimeter of the park makes for a pleasant walk, especially in the snowy or stormy weather. A hill provides a nice spot that allows some entertaining sledding without being steep enough to kill off the younger generation. One of the small parks that has a lot more than is visible at first glance. I was so busy checking out the baseball fields that I almost walked right by the incredible chuck of quartz that guards the entrance. Like most people I tend to walk fast and want to get to the next place. But as Suetonius said in Divus Augustus, sometimes it is much better to "festina lente". (Hurry slowly).
