The Roger Williams Park Conservancy serves as a steward for the long-term sustainability of Roger Williams Park and its enjoyment by the community.

The Roger Williams Park Conservancy was created in 2016 as part of the Rhode Island Foundation’s Campaign for Roger Williams Park. As an independent nonprofit organization, the Conservancy’s mission is to sustain and enhance Roger Williams Park as a vibrant public space for all. Our vision is that Roger Williams Park transforms lives by being a personal oasis, a neighborhood park, and a community treasure for Rhode Island and beyond. We strive to be collaborative, inclusive, steadfast, visionary, adaptive, transparent, and dignified. We work with the City of Providence Parks Department to steward Roger Williams Park, offer community programs, raise resources, coordinate marketing efforts, and plan for the long-term sustainability of the Park and its enjoyment by the community.
