Along the Pawtuxet River, on the northern border of the neighborhood, is Belmont Park, which is walkable from some homes.

The world beyond Warwick
“Warwick is like the central hub of Rhode Island,” says McNally. “You can get to anywhere in the state easily – or the world, with the airport being right there.” Along Jefferson Boulevard, buses lead to Newport, and along Elmwood Avenue, buses take locals 3 miles south to the Rhode Island TF Green International Airport. At the airport, there’s a commuter rail that leads into Providence. To get to Providence by car, travel Allens Avenue north for about 6 miles. U.S. Interstate 295 and U.S. Route 1 are just minutes from the neighborhood and will lead locals to other surrounding areas.
