    This park is AMAZING! There's so much to do, see, and explore here…read more Some of the highlights include: the historic Daggett House, the watercolor society, and Loof carousel. There's a dog park, covered pavilion and various picnic sites that can be rented, plus tennis and pickle ball courts. There's also frisbee golf, multiple baseball fields, a walking path along the 10 mile river, plus a playground. There are many places to take photos; Marconi garden with gazebo, a picturesque pond with bandstand, and an English garden (called friendship garden), plus countless places with lush grasses and trees. In the summer they offer family entertainment with various performers and music. They also offer a summer camp for kids as well as various exercise and dance classes for adults. All this information can be found on their website. The hidden gem of this park is its winter wonderland celebration where the community comes together to decorate 650+ Christmas trees along with displays and lights, it's absolutely magical. The park is clean and well maintained and is constantly undergoing updates and improvements. The one down side is there's only 1 small basketball court even though there is space to expand this area.

    The Slater Park Looff Carousel is a historic carousel that was completed in 1895. It was built by…read moreDanish immigrant Charles I. D. Looff. He was born as Carl Jürgen Detlef Looff in Bad Bramstedt, Holstein (now Germany) in 1852. After immigrating to the United States in 1870 at the age of 18, Looff settled in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and found work as a carver for a furniture factory. He began a hobby of taking home leftover wood scraps from the factory and carving them into carousel animals. He created his first carousel in 1876 and it became Coney Island's first carousel and amusement ride. Looff soon opened his own carousel factory in Brooklyn and continued to build more of the rides. In 1886, Looff was commissioned to build a carousel for Crescent Park (known as "the Coney Island of the East") in Rhode Island. In 1895, he moved his family there and established a new headquarters. He built a second, larger and more elaborate carousel for the amusement park. He also built an adjoining workshop and showroom for prospective buyers. Looff relocated to California in 1910 so he could build carousels for amusement parks on the West Coast. He passed away in 1918 after building close to 50 carousels. Looff is regarded as one of the most important and influential carousel builders of all time. The Slater Park Carousel was originally built for a carnival called Lee Funland in upstate New York. It was moved to Slater Park in 1910 where it still stands today. It is one of only six historic carousels in the United States which still resides in its original building. The carousel is a "stander" or stationary carousel. This means that the animal figures are designed to stand on the platform with at least three legs on the ground and they don't move up and down. This contrasts with "jumper" figures which usually move up and down and have all four legs elevated as if in mid-gallop. The Slater Park Carousel is the oldest Looff-stander carousel in the world. The platform features 44 horses, a camel, a giraffe, a lion, three dogs, and two chariots. Today the carousel is open from April through October. It operates on Saturdays and Sundays from 12pm - 5pm (daily in July and August). Rides cost $1. My family and I recently visited the Slater Park Looff Carousel. My wife and I have been carousel enthusiasts since we visited the New England Carousel Museum a few years ago. We were spending the day in the Greater Providence Area and decided to visit the Crescent Park Looff Carousel in Riverside (which is absolutely beautiful!) We learned that Charles Looff built another carousel in 1895 that was located nearby at Slater Park, so we made a drive there afterwards. We were a little disappointed that the Slater Park Carousel's horses don't move up and down and that there isn't a brass ring device like the one featured on the Crescent Park Carousel. That being said, the Slater Park Carousel is still exceptional. All of the horses and menagerie animal figures have been beautifully carved and painted. We also noticed that this carousel moves quite fast (about 9 mph). In fact, the speed has been slowed down over the years and used to be as high as 14 mph. Overall, we had a fun experience at the Slater Park Looff Carousel and would recommend carousel enthusiasts to visit it as well as the nearby Crescent Park Looff Carousel.

    I've been fortunate enough to call Lincoln home, and moving into Kendall Estates was one of the…read morebest decisions my family and I ever made. From the day we arrived, it just felt like home. It's one of those towns that manages to be quiet and peaceful without feeling isolated, and after years of living in busier areas, that change of pace was exactly what we were looking for. One of Lincoln's greatest strengths is its natural beauty. The town is full of wooded neighborhoods, winding roads, and mature trees that make even a quick drive feel relaxing. Lincoln Woods State Park is an incredible resource to have practically in your backyard. Whether you're walking the trails, spending the day by the water, or simply enjoying the scenery, it's a place that never gets old. The Blackstone River Valley is another gem, with miles of scenic bike paths and walking trails that follow the river through some of the most beautiful landscapes in northern Rhode Island. Despite all that greenery, Lincoln is incredibly convenient. You can be in downtown Providence in about fifteen minutes, and getting onto a major highway is quick no matter where you are in town. That central location makes commuting easy while still allowing you to come home to a place that feels removed from the noise and congestion. I've also come to appreciate how much history surrounds you here. The old mill villages like Albion, Lonsdale, and Manville give the town a lot of character, and driving along Great Road never gets old. It's a reminder that Lincoln has managed to preserve its past while continuing to grow in all the right ways. For families, it's hard to beat. The schools have an outstanding reputation, the neighborhoods are safe, and it's common to see people out walking their dogs, riding bikes, or chatting with neighbors. There's a genuine sense of community here that you don't always find anymore. There's also plenty to do without leaving town. Whether it's dinner at one of the excellent local restaurants, grabbing ice cream on a summer evening, spending an afternoon at Lincoln Woods, catching some excitement at Bally's Twin River, or challenging friends at R1 Indoor Karting, there's always something nearby. It strikes a nice balance between small-town charm and having enough amenities that you rarely need to go far. Lincoln isn't flashy, and I think that's part of its appeal. It's clean, safe, well maintained, and surrounded by beautiful scenery. It offers the kind of quality of life that's easy to take for granted until you've lived somewhere else. For us, Kendall Estates has been a wonderful place to call home, and I honestly can't imagine living anywhere else in Rhode Island.
