The 65-acres of meadow…read moreand woodland that comprises this area was donated to the Kingston Improvement Association back in 1933 by Mary Lemoine Potter. This group works to maintain the land to this day! The main parking area is located on South Road with a second smaller entrance on Biscuit City Road. With approximately 1.4 miles of trail to traverse, this is a decent locale to get out and stretch your legs. The land is mostly flat which is great for a leisurely walk, snowshoeing, and trail running. The trails are well maintained but could be blazed a bit better. There are many paths that seemingly shoot off into nowhere and the signs for some of the named trails are small or oddly placed. Either way, its not a huge place so it'd be difficult to get completely lost. There are benches placed throughout in case you need to give your feet a break. In addition to the trails there are several other amenities this space has to offer including a baseball field, basketball court, picnic areas, benches, and a skating pond complete with skating shed. The pond was a beautiful thing to behold this spring. A good option if you are looking to stretch your legs in nature... no matter the season!

Kingston and…read moreKingstown The small village of West Kingston used to be called Little Rest, which definitely was a cool name. But in the 19th century some wise arse decided to name it West Kingston. Not a bad name but considering the village of West Kingston is in the town of South Kingstown and there is a North Kingstown lurking nearby, things have been confused ever since. The West Kingston Park is quite nice, assuming you can find it, which is iffy for non local people because they usually end up looking for South Kingston or West Kingstown, neither of which exist. The park is very pleasant and has tennis and basketball courts and lots of picnic areas and places to walk. It's an easy bike ride to the Kingstown beaches and isn't to far from the campus of The University of Rhode Island. An old saying goes that everything in Rhode Island has three names and that frequently proves to be the case. It's a nice little park that is seldom crowded, even in the summer. Perhaps the reason is that nobody can figure out exactly where the park is.

Bring bug spray during peak season. Even though the walk is short, there is quite a bit of vegetation and amazing art on display. My favorite was the HUGE bull as you first walk in. This thing is massive and a fun way to enter the park. More info: The South Kingstown Land Trust Sculpture Trail is a short .4 mile walk that mingles nature with art. Enter the trail at the midpoint and notice the large map indicating the location of each sculpture. Walkers may turn right or left to explore the 3 acres of easy trails and diverse sculptures. Look for dream catchers and crystals, poetry boxes and a giant red cow. The Sculpture Trail is a great place for a slow walk through the woods or a visit with children who will love to find each sculpture. Be sure to stop at the final sculptures and turn around, as the property and trails come very close to private property.

A truly different experience from the exemplary SKLT, the Sculpture Trail is whimsical and charming…read morewhile taking full advantage of the natural beauty inherent. Kudos to those who made this possible and the artists who contributed their work! If visiting in the fall, the brilliant foliage colors and drifting leaves complement the artworks nicely. My only quibble is that I wish there were informational tags attached to the sculptures so that you knew what the piece was called and the artist (apparently, there's supposed to be an informational placard at the trail entrance, but this was missing at the time of our visit; the SKLT trail map brochure, however, does list the pieces' name/artist, but we didn't have one on us). Upon entrance to the trail, you are greeted by a massive bull made from, of course, a barbeque grill ("Sir Loin Barbeque Bull" by Sean Harrington) - and from there, you're off to follow the meandering trails to discovery. There's also a Fairy Village for visitors to build their own fairy houses, so would also be a fun place for the kids.

We brought our dog here once; the dogs and people were friendly. They have a parking lot with plenty of parking spaces as it is right beside a baseball park. I only took a star off because the park was a lot smaller than I thought it would be. Based on the other reviews here, I thought I was going to be walking into a huge dog park, but it was a really small area. It looked like there was another large part of the dog park but for whatever reason it was closed off and not being utilized. This was a couple of months ago so I'm not sure if it has since opened.

The boat launch tends to get crowded int he summer but there is a separate little areas just for canoes and kayaks so they don't have to wait for the larger craft. A very thoughtful touch indeed.
