Meet at the Monument to Roger Williams (map)
(Located near the Park’s Elmwood Avenue entrance, between the Casino and Betsey Williams Cottage)

Explore some of the Park’s history, venues, sculpture, and landscape and engage in a lively discussion: Many parks, like Roger Williams Park, were created over a century ago. How do we care for these spaces today? How do we preserve the best of the past while meeting the needs of the future.
