Roger Williams Park Clean Ups with Save the Bay

Monthly Community Clean Ups with Save the Bay, second Friday of every month.

Friday, June 9th 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM

THIS CLEAN UP IS FULL

Advance registration required, click here.

Get involved and help keep Roger Williams Park clean! Trash in our parks, ponds and rivers is ugly and dangerous to wildlife. Cleanups are a great way for volunteers to make a difference! This cleanup is hosted by Save The BayΒ in partnership withΒ Roger Williams Park ConservancyΒ  and the Providence Parks Department.

You will be picking up trash and debris to improve the habitat and the appearance of the lakes and ponds, and it is a great way to meet people. This is a rain or shine event so please dress for the weather, and for mud; boots would be useful! More information online when you sign up.

MEETING LOCATION HAS CHANGED from the original posting! We will now meet near the Park Avenue entrance to Roger Williams Park, near the waterfall/dam.Β Β See MAP for exact location (you can navigate there with that link), and watch a quick video showing you the location.

Details

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.

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! πŸŒΈβ˜ƒοΈπŸ‚πŸŒ³
