1 Best Sight in The Blackstone Valley, Rhode Island

Slater Memorial Park

Within the stately grounds of this park along the Ten Mile River are picnic tables, tennis courts, a playground, dog park, bike path, and a disc golf course. The park's Looff Carousel, built by Charles I. D. Looff in 1895, has 44 horses, three dogs, a lion, a camel, a giraffe, and two chariots that are the earliest examples of the Danish immigrant's work—rides operate spring through fall and cost 50¢. The Haunted Tunnel in the park is a popular Halloween attraction.
