Before the Roger Williams Park Zoo was home to animals like giraffes and elephants, a horse racing track drew crowds of up to 35,000 people for annual Fourth of July horse shows in the early 1900s! 🐎

This holiday weekend, a visit to the @@rwpzoo lets guests go even further back in time to see prehistoric dinosaurs (through August 10)! 🦖

Swing by the Park on Saturday for a Family Walk, meeting at in front of the Clark Dalrymple Boathouse! 🌸

The @firstworksri Summer Beats series returns to the Park next week! Bring a blanket or chairs and grab a spot on the lawn to soak up some rays while listening to two renowned musicians: pioneer of Afro-Rican jazz, William Cepeda, and Cuban pianist and composer, Elio Villafranca. Their dynamic approach to jazz blends musical traditions of their homelands, highlighting cultural resilience through rhythm, improvisation, and storytelling.

🌮 No dinner plans? No problem – grab a bite from @pvd_foodtruckevents across from the Boathouse Lawn!

Born on June 29, 1790, today marks the birthday of Betsey Williams – she and her sister Rhoda, who were known for their hospitality, may have celebrated the occasion with a lively fete in their cottage in the woods. Built in 1773, the restored cottage is still standing!

Betsey was the daughter of John and Mary Williams, and the great-great-great granddaughter of Roger Williams. She would go on to donate the land that is now Roger Williams Park to the City of Providence! 🌳

📍Add the Betsey Williams Cottage to your strolling route, and learn more about the historic home (the oldest structure in the Park!) on our website!
