I grew up in Rhode Island and I remember going to Rocky Point, when I was a kid. It was such a blast!


Rocky Point Amusment Park was in Warwick, Rhode Island. From 1847 - 1994.
Sadly, the park closed 1994.

Had to delete a lot of spam.

Thank you, to those who are actually leaving "real" comments and not spam. Spammers suck goat ass and I hope the choke!

I'd like to see the Shore Dinner Hall open again, and a flea market come to the park lands similar to the one located near Logan, Ohio would give the local people a place where they could once again come to enjoy the day. I don't see housing on this site, the economy is not supportive of that. People need a diversion in times of high unemployment. Perhaps a movie house with live theater available. Something like the Portland Saturday Market would also work for that land; each shopkeeper having a different hand made product, selling at fair prices. Local products made by locals, local community events, a shore dinner hall, family fun once again is a recipe for success.

By the way look at the design I've made myself Companionship in London
