Venue

A friendly heads up to Park-goers: Maple and Pine avenues at Cladastris Avenue are temporarily closed for approximately 4-6 weeks, limiting vehicle access to Park Avenue via FC Greene Memorial Boulevard. 

This temporary closure makes way for boardwalk construction at Cunliff Lake, a public access project that will enhance recreational opportunities at Roger Williams Park!

During this period, traffic will be detoured to park entrance and exit locations at Broad Street and Montgomery Avenue and Elmwood Avenue. Drivers using the Elmwood Avenue exit will follow Cladastris Avenue to FC Greene Memorial Boulevard to Linden Avenue to Elmwood Avenue south to Park Avenue east. Those using the Broad Street and Montgomery Avenue exit will follow Cladastris Avenue to Montgomery Avenue to Broad Street south to Warwick Avenue south to Park Avenue west.

Pedestrian and bicycle access will remain open. However, visitors are advised to follow posted signage and respect all barriers, as a crane will be active weekdays from 7AM to 3PM.

For updates and more information about the project, follow @pvdparks
Thanks to everyone who came out to the RWP Winter Wonderland this past Saturday! From cookies and hot cocoa to a visit from the big man in red, there was much merry-making to be had! Bundle up and swing by Roger Williams Park any evening this month to see all the twinkling lights. 🎄

Shout out to all of our Park partners for putting on the festive event:

From family picnics in the Rose Garden and concerts at the Bandstand to seeing the cherry blossoms bloom in the Japanese Garden every spring and sled-riding in the winter, Roger Williams Park is the backdrop of so many memories year-round, and even more opportunities to escape into nature, connect with neighbors, and attend events in the future! 🌸☃️🍂🌳

With your continued support this #GivingTuesday2025, and collaborating with @pvdparks , we can’t wait to offer even more free family-friendly programming, make accessibility upgrades and restorations of historic structures, steward critical green spaces, and more in 2026.
