I'm not sure if it's official parking but there is a small area where I've seen cars parked but there's also lots of street parking not too far away. The park is handicapped accessible, since the entire walk down is a winding ramp. There are multiple places to sit and admire nature along the way and there are even benches. In either direction you look, you get a good view of something whether is a cool bird, ducks, water, leaves, train tracks, etc. I found it to be a very relaxing place to read, reflect, or enjoy a meal. People trickle in and out but everyone has been quiet and respectful. There is graffiti all over but I think it adds personality to the park.

We have done it both ways, mostly by bike. It is a beautiful green space that goes along rivers and small waterfalls, just lovely. With over 24 miles already constructed, the vision is for it to extend 48 miles from downtown Worcester, MA, to India Point Park in Providence, RI. From there, it connects with the existing East Bay Bike Path and continues to Bristol, RI, for additional 14.5 miles. When completed, the Blackstone River Bikeway will serve as an alternate mode of transportation for commuters as well as the region's premier recreational resource, connecting New England's second and third largest cities.

The bikeway (approx. 20 miles) runs from Woonsocket, through Cumberland into Lincoln along the Blackstone River through lots of greenery and passing by bridges, dams, old mill buildings and historic sites. Of course, there are plenty of ways to do shorter rides/runs/walks. My riding buddies and I especially enjoy getting on at Albion Street in Cumberland (limited parking though!) and riding towards Ashton Mill (Cumberland) and into Lincoln for either a 10- or 12-mile spin, depending on where we decide to turn back. We also like the stretch from Woonsocket to Albion (about 9 miles back and forth) that starts out by taking us by sunny soccer fields in The River's Edge Recreation area. No matter where you get on, the terrain is mainly flat and it's easy to keep a steady pace.Be on the lookout for turtles sunning themselves on fallen trees in the river as well as occasional deer. And expect plenty of friendly waves and nods from walkers, runners and bikers on your journey. The Lincoln and Woonsocket ends offer ample parking.

Cannon mortars and…read moremisery Veteran's Place is a small park like memorial that is right next to the Cumberland Public Library and close to a bunch of cool hiking trials. The park is a pleasant little area that has some paved paths, benches to sit on as well as lot of flowers and old trees. A big old cannon as well as some kind of cool looking mortar thing are hanging around as well as some tributes and memorials to the veterans of all American wars. Veteran's Place is near the oldest war memorial in the country, a very morbid place called Nine Men's Misery. This is a spot where nine colonists were captured and tortured to death by the Narragansett Tribe during the horrible King Phillip Wars. A brutal affair where atrocities were common on both sides. It's a lovely and peaceful place now but a nice reminder and tribute to the men and women in times past when the cost of freedom was anything but free.

It's very kid friendly and there are tons of families there in a warm day. By the beach there are restrooms, picnic tables and a cafe that serves snacks, fast food and ice cream. You can walk a loop around the water which is very scenic and relatively easy on a paved road. Or you can venture off the road onto the many hiking and mountain biking trails that run through the woods. Bring decent shoes for this as the trails are relatively short but can be steep, rocky and muddy at times. It's beautiful and peaceful but also there are enough people out that a single woman alone could feel safe. Lots of people bring their dogs for walks here. There are also picnic spots with grills and areas where you can boulder and rock climb. Truly a lovely park that has something for everyone!

That said, as a life long RI-er this was one of those places that had been on my 'to-do' list for some time and I finally got around to getting there. Very mixed feelings. First, the amount of dogs off-leash is astounding. There was even one that came charging at me and I drew my pepper spray to prepare to use it, and the owner started freaking out at me. Luckly the dog stopped before I had to. The amount of landmines on the trails and road was absurd as well. It may very well be a nice place to walk and recreate, but if I have to consistently keep my head on a swivel for charging dogs and landmines then its not really worth it for me. That said, there are plenty of nice views and scenery. One could easily spend an entire day here just exploring and milling about. There's even a cemetery in the park as well, if you're into historical sites. So if you don't mind off leash dogs and have to watch every step you may still get some enjoyment out of it.

I really wish that pond would re-open for us to go swimming in but all the broken glass from the drunken people in the months of the winter kept throwing beer bottles on the icy pond plus water rats were at the bottom of the lake.

A former…read moredownhill ski facility, this area is full of hiking trails, old ski machinery, picnic areas, a pond/stage structure, among many other features. Looking for a place to participate in short hike, a group of friends and I decided to check out what this park had to offer. Finding little information online as well as little direction once we arrived... we decided to just walk around and see what we could find. Locating a clearing in the trees after walking through a wide-open aisle of shaded picnic tables on a bed of pine needles, we trekked over an open field and eventually followed a couple small hiker signs we found. Be prepared to hike STRAIGHT UP the hillside. Making the summit means scrambling up a series of extremely steep hills covered in loose rocks and dirt. I was thinking it felt dangerous on the way up... then I reached the way down and felt even more uneasy with each step down. It was an adventure none-the-less. I enjoyed checking out the abandoned ski lift equipment on the way up and envisioning the history of this park as a ski reservation. Though I've never been skiing myself, I can't imagine dodging the rocks and trees on the way down. As with most aging structures, these are covered in graffiti and surrounded by the remnants of old campfires and broken beer bottles. I wished the summit had a more rewarding view, but feeling the accomplishment of climbing to the top is fulfilling enough I suppose. In trying to learn more about the park, I discovered that Cumberlandfest is held here each year. Entertainment makes use of the staging area complete with pond, the lot I suppose holds the carnival rides, etc. I feel as though this park has a lot of unexplored potential. A nice outdoor space for those nearby; I'm not sure it would be worth a long distance drive for a visit, unfortunately. Also the location of "Haunted Hill" in the fall for a good scare with the family! (http://www.hauntedhill.net/)

I have lived in Cumberland RI off and on for over twenty years. My ancestors came from this area…read more Now in my retirement years as a 77 year old war veteran, we split our time between RI and SC. We sold our condo we owned in SC for 20 years, and purchased a new home in SC in 2023. We were able to purchase that second home because we worked hard and long hours for it. Our children graduated from the colleges of their choice with no student loans to repay. Our taxes in that new 3 bedroom and three full bathroom home with a 2 car grarge will be about two thousand dollars a year. They have no veteran discounts on taxes unless you are disabled, but the taxes are fair. My new tax bills from Cumberland, RI. for our 2 bedroom condo total over six thousand dollars for my property tax bill, and my fire tax bill, which are separate bills. This is an increase of more than $ 1,200 from what I had been charged. I lost my veteran's discount and elderly discount because I changed my residence from RI to SC. I am still a war veteran, and I am still elderly. I still spend a lot of my time in Cumberland. Those are just the facts. You can find a much less expensive town to live in, and a much cheaper state to live in where it will not take over three months of your social security check just to pay your taxes. I do not blame the town of Cumberland, because it is the state of RI which causes the higher tax rate for all because it gives away too much money. They waste it on many things, but a couple that really stick on my craw are all those truck toll cameras that never should have been installed,(they have all been shut down after determined illegal-but RI got stuck with a rental contract)and total tax payer rip-offs by giving free pay checks tax-free to totally disabled court sheriffs--one of whom became totally disabled because he wore his uniform belt too tight. Energy costs are insane. All the added fees and taxes cost much more than my actual energy used--and I pay three times as much than in SC where I use the same amount of energy. The Governor (that lives in my town) did help out some "connected" residents with three thousand dollars of covid money. On the plus side, we do have an excellent police and fire department force. which I am grateful for in today's world. My primary care doctor retired this year, but I was unable to find a new doctor in my area. I am on a waiting list and may get into his care by the end of the year. I have had a VA doctor at the local VA hospital in Providence for years, but I lost my VA doctor in RI when I went to the VA in Myrtle Beach, SC. Guess our government is using too much VA support on the millions of illegal aliens. Bottom line is I would recommend you do perform some research before moving to RI. Our nation of inflation, the green energy dream that has turned into America's nightmare, and our once-secure border that was tuned into an open freeway for over ten million illegal aliens (costing taxpayers one million dollars for every one hundred illegals)God has ever bestowed on manking--The United States Of America. Make a wise choice...
