Join the Roger Williams Park Conservancy for our first Movie in the Park of 2017!

Sing (2016) features a koala impresario who, in danger of losing his grand theater after one flop too many, stages a singing competition to save the day. But when a typo inflates the grand prize from $1,000 to $100k the contest attracts the attention of animals from around the city.

This animated musical comedy features the voices of Matthew McConaghey, Reese Witherspoon, Taron Egerton, Tori Kelly, Scarlett Johansson, Seth MacFarlane, Jennifer Hudson and Nick Offerman.

The movie will take place on the Boathouse Lawn (across from Carousel Village). Run time is 1 hour, 48 minutes.

Venue

Have you seen green Adirondack chairs appearing in Roger Williams Park? With funding from the @aarplivable #aarpcommunitychallenge grant program and the hard work of @pvdparks to install them, these Conversation Nooks invite visitors to sit, unwind, and connect with neighbors and loved ones. 

Find four spots along Frederick C. Green Memorial Blvd. and near the Museum of Natural History and Planetarium.

Even in the winter months, we hope these seating nooks will offer a few moments of reprieve in the outdoors when neighbors need it most.
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.
