The weather will now on our side this evening, our apologies but we’ll have to postpone today’s session. See you next week.

Raise your hand if you could use an hour of self-care this week! 👋 Leave the stress of everyday life behind for Mental Health Morning Thursday at 9 AM in the serene Botanical Center. Be sure to RSVP, and let the relaxation stretch beyond the session by purchasing a ticket to hang out at the Center!

Keep the good vibes going with Movies at the Park set to take place sunset on the Boathouse Lawn. Hopefully the weather cooperates for this quintessential summer outing perfect for the whole fam! 📽🍿

See you soon, Park peeps!

Meet Richard Riccio and John Goff! 🌳

This month`s People of RWP spotlight introduces two dedicated Providence Parks Department employees: @iamriccio, the Botanical Center Supervisor at Roger Williams Park, and John, who has been with the Parks Department for over 14 years.

Even though their presence in the Park is not strictly for leisure, on any given day you can find Richard and John taking a walk during their break, enjoying the health benefits of being outside. If you see them, say hi! They’re a small part of the mighty @pvdparks crew who take care of over 100 parks, including our beloved RWP. 🥾

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! 🌸
