It was really nice to be present, in the moment, and stumble upon a difference statue, plaque or structure to help memorialize history and the lives of people who were fighting for our country. It's nice that this park is also against the river. It feels like it's not in the middle of downtown, it's so peaceful.

Also, this park pays homage to the survivors. The landscaping was beautiful and there were walking paths throughout. The first sculpture I saw was the kneeling soldier in bronze; this was created as a Korean War Memorial. The second structure was massive; an obelisk with a statue standing on top, which represents peace. There were quotes at the base and steps. This was a memorial for Rhode Islanders who fought in World War I. There's also a Holocaust memorial, water fountain, memorial wall, and a large World War II sculpture with multiple columns. The park is adjacent to the river so it's nice backdrop. If you're in the city, I recommend checking it out.

We parked at the W.W. Greenway lot on Jr Street and started walking to the east. A sign along the…read moretrail indicates the River walk is 'that way', so we turned left at the crosswalk on Hay Street and followed the road to McCarthy Field. There, on the right side of the field, is the entrance to the Senator Donald E. Roch River Walk. The upper area next to the field is flat, paved and lined with shrubs and on this spring day, crocus. Walk under a wooden arch and the path turns to scree and takes a deep dive down. Chose your steps carefully here. Once at the bottom of this hill, the path becomes mulch covered. It has rained recently and there are tire tracks on the trail leaving behind deep ruts filled with water. The first half of this lower level of the pathway was very uneven, strewn with plant debris and looks like it has recently had fresh mulch added here and there. It definitely looks like the trail is a work in progress. The hillside has been 'cleared' of underbrush leaving downed trees and plant debris. Some of the cleared material has been used to create landscaping breaks/retaining areas with the assistance of landscaping fabric. The path appears to have been leveled out and raised to keep it above water level. It's a nice wide trail and with a bit of leveling would make a very enjoyable pathway. Where the path first meets the river, there is a bench to sit and enjoy the view. Another bench is located toward the second half of the trail near a stone structure that may (or may not) have been a mill on the river. At one point there is a 'government building' and the path appears to end there in a heap of mulch, but on the right is a small pathway between trees going toward the river. Once over this short rise, the path opens up again. This section is more 'natural', no mulch. The entire trail runs parallel to the river. Further along the trail you come to a police training facility. Here the path splits. To the right it continues to follow the river for a short distance before heading up a steep incline where it ends. The left branch runs close to the building and is covered in a similar scree material as the beginning. These two paths come out within feet of each other on the opposite side of the field. IMO, this trail is not accessible to strollers or wheelchairs of any type. The beginning and end are too steep, the mulched area uneven and the later section unpaved with roots in places. Even though the mulched pathway was wet in many places, and I almost tripped a couple of times on debris, I actually enjoyed this walk. The sound of the river is very nice and the trees along the river provide shade and plenty of habitat for wild life. It's a short walk and made a very nice change of pace from the bike path nearby. A nice natural get-away in an urban environment.

Hard to explain exactly why but even though they are trees and everything is pretty clean this is one of those parks that just isn't very attractive. I suspect that are the right time of day or year the park is very well used. Some very well maintained soccer and baseball fields are scattered about as well as basketball courts, a small skateboard park and a gazebo picnic area. Certainly lots to do and it even though not many people were around when I went, It looks like this park is a place that people utilize. There even is a riverwalk on the side of the park with a nice entrance and memorial. The walk does indeed go down to a river but seems very rough and overgrown. The river itself isn't exactly breath taking and I suspect many of the large mills and factories in the area spent many years dumping all kinds of nasty stuff in the water. I'm not sure how far or where the riverwalk goes because it got to infested with thorns and prickers and tall grass. Kind of gives the impression that it isn't somewhere I would want to be a night. This is one of those strange parks that doesn't grab your eye and don't expect something beautiful or aesthetically pleasing. This is a very practical, useful and fun park that is much cooler than it first looks.

The park is a vast area that includes a variety of different baseball, softball, and soccer fields. The local Little League as well as other groups have games here during the summer months. The park also has a nice playground in addition to basketball and tennis courts. All the facilities are in excellent condition and the entire complex is very well maintained. It gets crowded during the summer months when Little League games are being played, but there is plenty of parking. The park is very safe and has lots of families use it but on a couple of occasions I did see what appeared to be high school or even younger kids drinking, smoking and being quite rowdy by the wooded area. Curiously they seemed to be taking pictures of each other in curious and rather licentious poses and didn't seem bothered that groups of people were fairly close. But they didn't seem to be a danger to anyone but themselves. Despite the young knuckleheads, the park is an excellent place to play or watch some sports. And no matter what you call the park, the wide variety of facilities assures that there is something for everyone here.
