Goddard Park in Rhode Island is vast and fantastic for social gatherings or outdoor activities. There are numerous picnic tables, charcoal grills and gazebos available for rental. Β Fields and open space make this the perfect spot to play games, throw a ball or just relax outdoors. The beach is accessible within the park and horse riding and walking trails are always enjoyable.Β  Several leashed dogs can be seen briskly walking with their owners throughout. In the summer this park is occupied with bounce house rentals for parties and family cookouts. It is a nice outdoor space to enjoy with family and friends close by to the ocean.

Leashed dog-friendly park with street walking and horse trails.
