On season, especially during the day, it's hard to visit because the parking lot is so small and all of the surrounding streets have no parking signs up. So you do run the risk of driving there and not getting a spot in their tiny lot.

The water is New England rocky and murky but also very calm. Rocky beaches are meh but kids had fun. There's also a nice snack shop that has ice cream and sandwiches. The issue: it's a $30 dollar per car charge. I'm not against paying for access but the facilities are public so it's strange they'd charge that amount. Residents pay a lot less - like 10. That said there is a life guard , the beach was clean and there is staff to pay.

Bonus points that I could bring my dog (of course on days it wasn't too hot.) Then they put the gates up and you couldn't get in anymore. Bummer but oh well. I drove by on my way to the town beach and the gates were up! I was jazzed! Parked and walk my way down. Beautiful day and not crowded. I got attacked by sand fleas and horse flies! It was awful! I tried to sit closer to the water and the bugs were still awful. I could not believe it. I had to leave within the hour and ended up spending $40 at CVS because I had about 50 bites on my body (I am not exaggerating.) I don't know if this is the norm for this side of the beach since I have not been in awhile but it took my body two weeks to get rid of all of the bites!

Music and mounds…read more Burr's Hill Park is a seven and a half acre park that sits right across from the town beach. A very pleasant place with nice views of the water but this park also holds a bit of a mystery. The park has baseball fields, basketball and tennis courts, and a bandshell where a summer concert series is held. Other events and gatherings are also frequently conducted at the park. It's also right next to the East Bay Bike Path so it's a convenient place to use the bathrooms or get some water while biking by. One of the things that first struck me when viewing the park are the strange mounds that rise up on the perimeter of the park. If you look closely it becomes obvious that these are not natural but created by people a long time ago. These enigmatic mounds are actually the remains of a Revolutionary Fort that was built here centuries ago and long forgotten. No signs or historical plaques are around to mark the site but it's still pretty cool. I couldn't find any signs of recent archaeological activity nor any reference to any digs that have been conducted in the park so who knows what treasures lurk below the surface. Burr's Hill is a nice place that serves many of the recreational and artistic needs of the people of Warren. Interesting to realize that several centuries ago the value and function of the park served a far more martial and less pleasant purpose.

A park on a point…read more Sabin Point Park is a roughly five acre park that is indeed on a point of land that juts out into the Providence River. The river is almost a mile wide in this area so the park has great views in almost all directions. The park has made improvements over the years and now has a nice playground, basketball court and paved walking paths. It always has a nice fishing pier and launch site for small boats. Since the river is so wide here the water can get pretty feisty for a kayak or canoe and it's more like open ocean than a river. Plus the river has a huge amount of traffic, from large tankers and freighters to numerous fishing boats of all sizes. The park is a lovely park to see the sun rise or set or to just sit and watch all the boat traffic go by. A cool place, especially for people that want to feel they are on the water without ever leaving the land.

A beautiful outdoor space any time of the year; there are a number of trails to peruse this mix of coastal wetland filled with marshes, fields, forest, and farmland. There is a small parking area on George Street just as the road starts to curve. A small sign marks the entrance to the first trailhead. Named for a Barrington native and prominent naturalist, the trails here meander through the various landscape. A couple off-shoots give you access to areas like a small boardwalk area that extends into the upper marshlands. Several of the fields have birdhouses erected that attract all kinds of species. I believe I caught a couple views of some bluebirds during my time here. And geese. So many geese. Another trail delivers you to the sandy shores of the Hundred Acre Cove. Really beautiful in January when I visited, all iced over. This beach is a nesting area for the diamondback terrapin. There is a park bench on this shoreline to soak in the views. Of note, there is a seemingly out of place pistol range on site for the Barrington Police which is very well-marked for safety. All-in-all, a pleasant place to get outside.

Rose Larisa is a great place to watch the sunset, and there is plenty of free parking. This park also is home to the annual RI Folk Festival and the city of East Providence also presents summer concerts here so go check out some local live music!

You can still see the remnants of some of the rides, and there are informative signs throughout displaying the history of the property. I love the walking paths here, and I especially love poking around the shoreline at all of the little beach areas (some which are only accessible at low tide) and looking for shells and seaglass. Several of the walking paths are paved and are wheel chair accessible, and others a just a little more rugged with some climbing over rocks to get down to the shoreline. I also love the large fishing pier and this weekend my daughter and I relaxed on one of the benches out at the end of the pier and just enjoyed the sunshine. Rocky Point is an awesome place to spend time outdoors.
