This Reservoir Park Is A Little-Known Summertime Gem In Rhode Island

Summertime in Rhode Island is pure bliss. Long beach days along the shore are full of fun and sun. But not all of The Ocean State’s prime summertime destinations are on the coast. There is a little gem tucked away just minutes from city streets that offers plenty during the warm months. Governor John Notte Memorial Park is the perfect place to swim and play for the entire family.

Located on the Wenscott Reservoir in North Providence, Governor John Notte Memorial Park has more than enough recreational facilities to keep the entire family busy on a summer day.

Pick a spot on the sandy beach where you can lounge. Then take a dip in the refreshing reservoir to beat the summertime heat.

Kids will love swinging, sliding, and climbing on the playground right next to the beach.

While plenty of paved paths offer ample opportunity to stretch your legs while taking a stroll.

The rustic bridge over a soothing waterfall adds to the picturesque and serene setting of the park.

Plenty of open green space and shade calls for a family picnic or backyard game.

Baseball fields and tennis courts are available too! And you can even rent a paddle boat to tour the reservoir.

With so much to do at this beautiful park, you'll want to place this locale at the top of your summertime bucket list.
