City of Providence Announces Additional Restrictions on Parks and Public Spaces
Are residents who live near RWP allowed to walk on the one-way road in RWP?
Per the City of Providence and its Parks Department, Roger Williams Park is closed to all but vehicular through traffic at this point, and the closure is being enforced. Should that change in the future, the Conservancy will announce it here and on our social media.
