Description

The Ten Mile River Greenway follows the winding course for 2.5 miles along the James Turner Reservoir (Ten Mile River). Though short, the trail is quite scenic and runs between the Kimberly Ann Rock ball fields in East Providence and the north end of Slater Memorial Park in Pawtucket (to Armistice Blvd.). In the future an extension may continue north of Armistice Boulevard another mile to the playing fields along Daggett Avenue in Ten Mile River Park.

In Slater Park you'll find the Loof Carousel, built in 1894.

Bear right at the fork and follow the one-way road to parking lots close to the greenway.

To get to Kimberly Ann Rock Athletic Fields in East Providence, take I-195 East to Exit 4 to Taunton Avenue (Route 44). Take Taunton for about 2 miles; it becomes Waterman Avenue.
