Plenty of parking but it was also packed, even during cold December. There is a nice walking area. You can walk into the rocks by the water. It is fantastic.

I started visiting the 40 steps. There were a lot of people crowding the steps and taking photos. I enjoyed this part of the walk and would repeat again in the future if I came with friends. To get to the next session of the walk there is a detour that brings you by the next block and to the next entrance. I found the next section to be the smoothest walk and very scenic. After that, you see signs that there is some rugged terrain. You also get signs that you pass at your own risk and a reminder that you are passing through private properties. I highly suggest you wear proper footwear as there are some rocky sessions and uneven ways. If it is hot, you may want to bring water and wear sunscreen. Also check the map as there are sessions where it is clearly marked that the closest exit is some distance away. Still worth the walk as you get magnificent views and glimpses the back of some mansions/houses along the way. I exited at the Ledge Road exit.

There's a lovely gazebo located at the beginning of the park you can hang out and have lunch. There are benches along the path to chill on. The landscaping is always maintained beautifully .

I noticed one trash can at the beginning of the path so just take note. Very peaceful. Beautiful for photography ! Enjoy!!

A park with a…read morewindmill Wind turbines are popping up all over Rhode Island. A nice and efficient way of taking advantage of the constant wind coming off of Narragansett Bay. Even though the technology has greatly improved over the years and centuries, the idea is hardly new. Wind power has been used in New England for a long time and was frequently used to power the old grist mills. A few of the old windmills managed to survive and Paradise Park has one of the finest examples still around. The mill was built back in 1810 and was used to grind corn and is a great example of a smock mill that has numerous sloped sides. It originally had four vanes but was increased to eight over the years to improve efficiency. The mill stood a bit further north in Portsmouth but was restored and moved to Paradise Park in 1990. The mill is open one day a year in Sept but can be seen all year long in the park. The rest of Paradise Park is pleasant, with a few short hiking trails and benches and places to sit and relax. Some concerts are held here in the summer and the historical society is right next door. There are a lot of parks in Rhode Island and quite a few windmills but this is the only windmill in a park that I know of. A lovely place to see a part of the past that is quickly becoming the vision of the future.

The Jamestown community has really put together an amazing space for children. No dogs are allowed in the park so plan accordingly. We had a puppy with us and stayed on the shady side walk near the community center while the dads kept an eye on the kids. There are a few picnic tables in the shade here. Lots of swings. Monkey bars. Zip line. And much more! The kids had a ball. Bonus points, an ice cream shop is across the street. Two thumbs up.

What a cute playground! I love that it basically shares the lot with the Jamestown library as well…read more The grounds are landscaped beautifully and they designed in plenty of shade for the picnic area. I'd say the main downside is that they don't have bathrooms and instead just have port-a-potty's. You can probably go into the library if the library is open, but when we were there the library was closed. The park has a great setup for younger kids on side and older kids on the other. I also love that there is a little bakery/cafe across the street that you can grab an iced coffee at and a snack before or after the kids play. Street parking was tight, but we were able to park at the library. Overall a lovely gem of a playground.

I was incredibly disappointed with our paranormal investigation at Fort Adams. The weather was…read morebeyond unsafe--torrential rain, frequent lightning, thunder, gale-force winds, flooding, and standing water. Under those conditions, the event should have been canceled or rescheduled. Instead, guests were expected to drive through dangerous weather and then repeatedly walk between buildings on uneven terrain with some individuals carrying umbrellas, which only increased the risk during an active lightning storm. The conditions made the investigation itself nearly impossible. Because of the weather, we were only able to experience a fraction of what was advertised--probably around 25% of the normal investigation. We spent much of the evening trying to avoid the elements instead of enjoying the experience we paid for. I was also disappointed with the investigation methods. At one point, the investigator placed nearly every piece of paranormal equipment together on and around a staircase within inches of one another. Anyone with experience in paranormal investigating knows that equipment should be spaced apart to avoid interference. Unsurprisingly, one device began going off repeatedly, and it was suggested this was paranormal activity. However, it appeared much more likely that the equipment was simply interfering with itself, making the results unreliable. The biggest issue, however, was safety. The walkways were soaked, slippery, uneven, and covered with large puddles. Wind-driven rain made visibility difficult, and the constant lightning created an unnecessary risk. We returned home completely soaked to the bone (our own personal paranormal equipment that we bought with us was also soaked) from what felt like a hazardous trip both to and from the event. We genuinely questioned whether we should have been on the road at all. No event is worth risking people's safety. A reputable organization should know when conditions have crossed the line from inconvenient to dangerous and make the decision to cancel or reschedule. Instead, it felt like the priority was avoiding refunds rather than protecting guests. This was, without question, one of the most disappointing and unsafe event experiences I've ever had, and I would not recommend it based on how the situation was handled.
