An excellent aquatic adventure awaits just a short distance away in Newport. That city is closest to Narragansett Bay, the sparkling body of gentle ocean water that is considered the state's greatest natural resource. This is an excellent spot for fishing, shellfishing, sailing and various other water sports. Because of the various tournaments and competitions held here, Narragansett Bay is often referred to as the "Sailing Capital of the World."
Sometimes, the best family adventures are the ones where you just spend quality time together playing a game of catch after chowing down a picnic lunch. The perfect place to do that in Providence is Richardson Park. The kids will love the PlayBooster and PlayShaper attractions as well as the Humpty Climbers and swings that are all part of this beautiful park. For the older kids, there's fun to be had on the basketball courts, a water park and the big expansive lawn. An afternoon of great family fun awaits at Richardson Park.
