What visitors say
★★★★★
“Very nice park with parking. A lot of recreational activities. Public bathroom, pool, skateboard, basketball court, fields, piknik area, etc. Great for families and everyone. Hiking trails need more paths and guidance though... and also needs better views. Walking paths…”
★★★★★
“This park is home to a great culture, built by a community of veteran riders, beginners, and everyone in between. It's great going here (to one of the local Prov spots) and seeing happy and familiar faces. Ramps are great and this park will be even better once funding put into…”
★★★★★
“I love hiking, and his little urban gem is one of the best, and most demanding, full of hills and rocks and root-thick trails but so worth it in terms of workout and a stunning view of Providence from on high. Great fun walk, just be ready to sweat...even in winter.”
★★★★★
“So easily accessible from the city, with a playground skate park and gentle hiking trails -- but the absolute highlight of Neutaconkanut is the view out over the city. All cities should have trails and trees and beauty this easily reached.”
