Save the Bay Clean-up at RWP

Monday, October 13 (Indigenous People’s Day), 10 AM-12 PM
Softball Fields at Roger Williams Park

We are partnering with Save the Bay for monthly clean ups in Roger Williams Park to help keep RWP looking its best! Register with Save the Bay HERE. If all spots are full, reach out to us and we will try to accommodate more people. Email [email protected]

WHAT: Join the International Coastal Cleanup with Save The Bay! Shoreline trash is ugly and dangerous to wildlife, and shoreline cleanups are a great way for volunteers to make a difference. We will divide into small teams to pick up trash and record what we find. The data will be included in the Ocean Conservancy’s annual report on marine debris.

WHERE: The softball fields at Roger Williams Park, F C Greene Memorial Blvd, Providence, RI 02905. This is a large park with one-way loops and several entrances – use this link to navigate to the exact spotPlease carpool or use alternative transportation if possible!

REGISTRATION NOTES

  • Pre-registration required. Sign up HERE to let us know you will be part of the team!
  • Age: Cleanups are recommended for ages 8+. Ages 16+ may participate independently; Ages 8-15 may participate with a parent or guardian. Parents with children will be asked to sign a family waiver at the event.
  • If the cleanup is full, go to Save the Bay and look for other cleanups or join the waitlist! Spaces often open up.

Confirmation of service letters are available upon request! Just ask your cleanup leader at the end of the event.

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.
