This Family-Friendly Park In Rhode Island Has A Beach, Golf Course, Hiking Trails, And More

Finding a family-friendly park in Rhode Island really isn't difficult at all. What does sometimes pose a challenge is which park to go to next, especially if everyone in the family has different interests. This beautiful Rhode Island state park offers a little bit of everything, making it the perfect destination no matter what time of the year you visit.

You'll quickly realize, especially if it's your first visit, that one time at Goddard Memorial State Park in Warwick simply isn't enough to experience all it has to offer.

The natural beauty alone is sure to leave you breathless. You'll find a TON of photo-worthy spots. Don't forget your camera.

A summer visit usually means some time at the sandy beach that leads into the clear, cool water.

However, even if you're not visiting during the swimming season, you'll still find the beach is an ideal stop. You'll likely find it quieter and perfect for a sandy stroll to admire the landscape.

If you're a fan of golf, play a round or two at the nine-hole golf course.

Make sure you have comfy shoes, too, so you can explore some of the state park on its scenic hiking trails. All three of the trails are rated easy.

You'll run across some beautiful surprises, like a fairy tail footbridge, along the way, too. The park is also home to 11 game fields.

With 355 picnic tables, you won't have any difficulty finding one for a leisurely picnic.

Save a bit of time, too, to catch one of Rhode Island's gorgeous sunsets. Grab one of the waterfront benches for a front row seat.
