I may add more photos next time I go. Big open fields, paths in the woods, a beach, and horse trails.... All free!

The park is immaculate. We helped run a couples BBQ/Baby Shower for our daughter and son-in-law. Most things you are totally responsible for and there isn't any electricity provided. Plan way ahead and your event will be successful too.

Huge, beautiful park!! Places for everyone to go to and many areas to hang out in, picnic, horseback ride, swim, and just enjoy. The fall colors were incredible! Fell in love with this huge maple tree.

A quick peek into the admin building at Goddard State Park Beach paid unexpected dividends!! Inside, we met Josh Nelson, a recent URI grad, who is currently the On-Site Naturalist for the season at Goddard Park. Josh did a great job of gathering, curating and nurturing a very interesting cross section of the "living beach" and surrounding wetlands. Some kids who followed us looked in on a strange ghost shrimp, crabs, a bullfrog who I believe has gathered a following (check for possible Twitter handle) Nice to think they took away a little bit of - oops- summer learning.... Good job URI. Good job Goddard Park! Great job JOSH!!

Has anyone done a wedding there?

Lindsey Oliveira | Sep 3, 2019
Darlene | Sep 3, 2019

Yes all the time. We go at least three times a week n on weekends we see a bride down near the water. They call it the carousel. It's beautiful. Actually you have to call way ahead. They always have something going on in there. You can probably call the office now n book it. Not sure if there open. There open all year round. You can have it catered or bring your own food. Ask if there is a grill there. Then it's a 2 min walk to the beach to take pics. Good luck. Maybe I will see you there lol. We love it there.

I understand the park is technically closed when it's dark. But is it mandatory to leave the park at sundown?

kosta panagopoulis | Sep 3, 2018
kosta panagopoulis | Sep 3, 2018

It's stupid that a state park that we pay taxes for will not allow you to sit there in the dark. Instead a couple young girls on a power trip get rude and threaten to call the police without even giving polite information and giving us a a few minutes to wrap it up. They stood there while we tried to finish our food.
