The season of love is upon us...and we`re not the only ones falling for all the simple yet beautiful sights and scenes of Roger Williams Park! Thank you Christine Rockwell for sharing these lovely photos and sentiments about the Park:

“We have lived in Edgewood for over 18 years. With each passing year, we have discovered more and more ways to fall in love with our beautiful park – either walking along the trails, enjoying the Swan Boats, attending a concert at the Temple to Music, helping with goat care at the Botanical Center, discovering whimsical installations, and on and on. RWP is a beloved treasure and we are so incredibly fortunate to have it in our tiny state!”

What do you love most about RWP? Let us know in the comments! 💖🐐
