Have loved this park since I was a kid. We used to bike and skate the old runway. Brings back memories being here! Theyve made it into an amazing park with an awesome bike path and many trails. Fun for all ages!
Ninigret park has so much to offer, in Covid and non Covid times.Covid- plenty of space especially if you are interested in open fields and open paved spaces (a portion of ninigret is an old airfield) . There is a short bike and a 1 mile circuit bike track. ( google it lol) . Perfect fields for frisbee, kite flying and corn hole.Post covid- Great playground- basketball court- small fresh water beach- place to put in kayaks and small boatsClean and seriously NOT CROWDED!!
Great recreation options here - walking, biking, tennis, basketball, picnic. Small fresh water pond for swimming during summer. Adjacent to national wildlife refuge parking lot for those seeking slightly less developed setting for a walk.
Such a cool park. Lots of space to social distance...
The park is a great place, I went for the disc golf course which is just okay.
Great walking paths beautiful day for a nice trip the park. Great place to walk a couple of miles without even noticing how far youve gone.
Great place to bring kids. Playground is awesome and there is a small freshwater beach too.
Fantastic food, service and quality all the way around
Great place to play pickleball. Friendly people, open play, good to great level of play. Dedicated PB courts in the near future.
Ninigret Park, together with the adjoining National Wildlife Refuge, is one of the jewels of Charlestown. Miles of walking and biking paths, a beautiful playground for the kiddies, tennis courts, soccer fields, a Pavillion for picnics, separate dog parks for both small and large dogs, the Frosty Drew nature center, a small pond forswimming, and, of course, access to Ninigret Pond through the wildlife preserve. During non-pandemic times, Ninigret Park hosts a number of great events like the Charlestown Seafood Festival and the Rythem & Roots music festival. Like I said, one of the jewels of my town and I couldnt be more proud that the local government had the foresight to purchase this land from the federal government and turn it into what it is today!
Great playground, swimming hole is clean, grilling area is useable but grills could use some love and cleaning. Also has nice tennis and basketball courts along with observatory.
This place is perfect not to many people and quit you can even cook out there they also have a playground i will not let my kids play there in these times with covid but it is a beautiful place i would say dont go there because I like that not many people go and I feel safe
I love this park. First found it going to Frosty Drew Observatory. It was the most amazing experience and still is. My favorite go to, to see the stars. And then I discovered the hidden swim area/pond. Not to mention the beautiful hiking trails. And the dog park is extremely clean and one of the best around. I would say its one of my favorite parks in Rhode Island
Love the disc golf course
Good tennis courts and plenty of open space.
Quiet area to go for a walk or run. Very accessible with many large parking lots around the park. Between the bike path, criterion, disc golf trails, and the many fields there are plenty of pedestrian-friendly paths. Connects to adjacent Ninigret National Wildlife Refuge which offers great pond and marsh views as well as 4-5 miles of easy grass and gravel trails.
Great trails
Lots of equipment for kiddos!! And bonus, the Sunday afternoon we went, there was a live band playing.
Grew up coming to Little Nini and playing soccer in the fields. Its nice to be back.
Loved the bike path here. Its about a mile long but makes a circle so youre never too far from where you parked. Great place for my family to visit with little ones who enjoyed the playground while the older kids rode bikes. Would definitely return when we are back in the area.
Annually the home of The Rhythm & Roots Festival (music & dance) and a lovely bird sanctuary. I just wonder what the birds think on Labor Day Weekend comes and thousands descend on their turf!
Interesting history.
Always love taking the grandkids to the lake
The whole family had a blast.
Cant really complain about the park. The grounds are kept in superb condition, the kids playground is newly remodeled, and there are basketball courts and a baseball court as well as a dog park and running areas. The pond is nice as well with the more shallow area ropes off via buoys. Keep in mind that there are no lifeguards on duty in the later hours of the day. There are several grills set up under the pavilion if you wanted to bring burgers and dogs.
Not so good.
Great for family, dog walking. Large space, never feels overcrowded crowded.
We love the parks natural beauty and wild life. Access to the salt pond for kyacking and fishing are easy to get to with plenty of parking available.The grounds are very well taken care of and kept clean. It is a great place to bike or just take a walk on the paths.
Nice day at the park, and their swings sets are great quality and different. Your kids will love the different play sets, and zipline. Very peaceful place for the family.
Peaceful place
Awesome place to kayak
Only one band was shut down early
What a great place to go to on new years eve. They never disappoint.
Large open space That hosts my favorite festival : Rythm and Roots
Very nice park on the seashore. Ninigret was an old Navy airfield, transformed into a park and wildlife refuge. it has plenty of hiking trails, a planetarium, senior center, diverse plantlife, and a lot of history. Enjoy the views, walk around, or go kayaking on Ninigret Pond. There is an exciting music festival here on Labor Day weekend, called Rhythm and Roots.
Dont go here its mine lol
Not so great.
I usually only come here for the observatory. Its awesome and the staff are so into it and are so knowledgeable the experience is always fun.Even if the observatory is closed come down with a blanket and fall asleep viewing the milky way and shooting stars.
Awesome time with Rythm and Roots festival!
I absolutely love this park! It has a lot to offer, and is absolutely beautiful, is kept impeccably clean, and if you look into it there are things to do! The dog park is one of the best dog parks Ive ever seen! There are even restrooms throughout the entire park including the dog park! I cant tell you how many times Ive had to leave a dog park because I had to go to the bathroom! There are walking trails there are biking trails, an observatory a senior center oh, and it seems that they have things events in such in the summertime! I wished I lived closer!
Seafood festival was great! Seems like it would be an awesome park to go hang out at even if there wasnt anything like the seafood fest happening.
The dog parks (one for big dogs and one for small dogs) are some of the nicest Ive ever been to!
Nice place to walk the peoples look out for u we all talk an let anyone know u walk alone carry mace an walk with a prayer
Camp here every Labor Day weekend for the annual Rythum & Roots Music Festival. Check it out, volunteer and go for free. Be a professional, be reliable and friendly then prepare to have an amazing weekend.
Great place for swimming, playground, biking, soccer. My kids have alot of fun here.

Amazing place!!! Great for any sort of outdoor activity you may be interested in. Good place to have a picninc, go for a bike ride, run, swim, kayak, paddle board and so on.

Great playground, and a small pond for swimming. Best to swim earlier in the summer otherwise water gets grimy come August.
Great place with multiple things to do, awesome place for dog walks, nature walks, bike rides and sports!
I lost my rec soccer game by two whole goals. The disappointment I felt after was indescribable. The tears slowly rolled down my check as sorrow washed over me, knowing I would never be the same person.
Great fenced dog park with bathroom. Excellent bike path and walking path. Big play area for kids. Lots of activities held here especially the Seafood Festval in August.
Great park. Playground is excellent (not fenced in). Plenty of bathrooms around the park too.
Love going here, very private lil Beach area, playground, hiking. Just beautiful here. They hold concerts and lots of things here

It was my second time going. And I loved it..even tho both of my favorite food stands ran out of Gator!!#heyimacountrygal
Nice spot to do a lot! Pond was kinda small and a lot of kids there... I think they have a day camp..
Great place to go. Has a disc golf course thats really interesting.
We love it here. Support and enjoy your parks people. Open space, dog parks, bike paths, frisbee golf course, playground, swimming pond, observatory, hiking trails, boat launch, and lots of special events. Plenty of room to spread out and enjoy.
I love it here. You would too. So go. Already.
Here for Rythym & Roots Festival. Awesome place!
This is an awesome park/refuge for one or a family or a group of friends! They did a great job of repurposing an old Naval air field and left some historical markers to explain its history. They have a nice walking trail, dog park, bike track, disc golf, soccer fields and tennis courts. Just a wonderful place to spend a day and we are looking forward to returning when the weather warms
Excellent place to hike and kayak. Very interesting that its a old airport
Lobster will be the best to me!
One of my favorite places to bring my dog. There is a bike/walking path, a dog park, and a pond. There is also an area for cookouts, a playground, disk golf and an observatory. This place is amazing and peaceful.
Went to the seafood festival, it was very crowded the lines to buy food were ridiculous about 30 to 45min and of course it was not exactly cheap. But my mom said she had a good time.
Yearly Seafood Festival good time good company a place where everyone comes together as one.
Great place for the whole family lake has nice clear water and the playground is good for kids would rate 10 stars if possible
1st time there.. It was nice and easy to get to.. The kids had fun!
The grounds were gorgeous and it was a great spot for a birthday party!
