Ive been to many of our nations great national parks. This is not one of them. Other National Parks are characterized by epic landscapes, crucial battlefields, or beautiful historic buildings. This one has free parking and air conditioning. Most of the land is composed of a city park, with some plaques that admittedly have a bit of useful information. It also features the spring of Providence, which at the time of our visit, was filled with garbage. The tiny one room visitors center had a few plaques, but the main feature was the gift shop. Many of the products were hats and shirts branded as the Roger Williams National Memorial. Too bad they didnt have "I went to the Roger Williams National Memorial, and all I got was lousy t-shirt," because this was the one place I may have bought one.

The park is very nice, walking the colonial houses across the street and up the hill was a treat. The building is a small, one room display with a video about the history behind Roger Williams. Its very nice, but quite small. I wouldnt make a big trip to it but if you are nearby do make the stop.

This is a great little park honoring Roger Williams, his statue is actually in a different part of the city and also worth the visit (the view of the city is great!). And if you happen to find the park ranger you will be treated to a wealth of knowledge about the history of Rhode Island.

This beautiful and surprisingly quiet public park serves as a tribute to the historical contributions made by Roger Williams to the city of Providence. The space is charming, quaint, and a worthwhile respite from the nearby hustle and bustle.

One of two national parks in Rhode Island, Roger Williams National Memorial is great! Become a junior ranger, get a National Parks Passport Stamp that you cant get anywhere else, and learn about Roger Williams.

Great Historical place to visit. Make sure that you go inside the visitors center, the Park Rangers and volunteers are very nice, they will answer questions and show a video on Roger Williams. Worth your time.

Because Roger Williams was a great man who fought for freedom from religion, separation of church and state. He and his counterparts dont get enough praise. There should be a holiday. Im related to him also

A nice place to visit and the only national memorial in RI. The ranger was quite informative and I learned things I never knew about RI and Roger Williams even though I did my college thesis on him.

A beautiful urban park. Small museum on-site with activities for families and kids. Very nice area for walking around, and the scene of frequent social events (pow-wows, farmers markets, etc.).

Another excellent area to play Pokemon Go at or spend time with friends and family. Ive grown up in and around the area of the memorial and it still is a great place to hang out at.

Nice, quiet park. Educational visitor center with good staff. A nice, quick historical visit with kids. Unfortunately not a lot to see, and nothing remains from the 17th C.

A short film is offered by the visitors center. A short leisurely walk around the grounds gives you more info. Homeless people sleeping on benches. Very sad.

Very minimalistic park for the memory of Rhode Islands hero. Very nice visitor center giving an overview of the history of the area.

Small park with a great view of the city. Recommended if you are visiting Providence or just want a quiet place to sit and think.

Stood here for about a half hour waiting for a Peter Pan bus. No panhandlers or weirdos when we were there at 6am-ish.

The city is broken up by this quaint little park. I enjoy lounging in the grass and taking in the beauty of our city.
