Recreation & Activities in Coventry
Much like it’s neighboring towns in Kent County, Coventry offers a wide range of outdoor activities. The biggest attraction is the “Trestle Trail” or Washington Secondary Bike Path. This 19-mile bike path stretches from Cranston to the edges of Coventry and nearby Connecticut. Walkers and wildlife enthusiasts will enjoy this picturesque facility, which is easily accessed and provides a great location for casual exercise throughout the year.
One very popular area to buy a home in Coventry (and visit for recreation activities) is Johnson’s Pond. At 659 acres of fresh water, with an average depth of 19 ft., it’s one of RI’s best spots for swimming, fishing, and more.
Recreation & Activities in West Greenwich
Much like the rest of western Rhode Island, West Greenwich is largely made up of forests, farms and natural landscapes, so the area is rich with outdoor recreation opportunities. It’s home to several nature preserves, state parks, wildlife refuges, and freshwater ponds.
Big River Management Area
By far the largest outdoor recreation spot in West Greenwich at 8,319 acres. Here you’ll find fishing, numerous nature trails, and hunting opportunities if you’re licensed. There is also a freshwater quarry open for swimming!

Shopping in Kent County
In Coventry...
Coventry residents have a few go-to spots for their essential shopping and grocery needs. The Centre of New England, Coventry Crossing, and Coventry Shoppers Park plazas house businesses such as Walmart, BJs, Home Depot, Stop & Shop, and Dave's Marketplace.
If you like supporting small businesses, there are a handful near the center of town, including Krafty Sisters, Porridge Pot, Endeavors and More, Tom's Market, and Bead Sting.
In East & West Greenwich...
You may notice that East Greenwich is a little more refined than its neighbors. Here, it’s all about the small, local shops and makers who specialize in niches — jewelry, fashion, furniture, etc... Yet, if you’re looking for the necessities or an all-in-one shopping mall, just follow Route 2 a few miles north into Warwick. EG even offers a boutique pet treats shop and designer wedding gowns. Window shopping on Main Street is the main attraction on its own!
West Greenwich...
The The Mishnock area of West Greenwich and lower-south Coventry are the shopping spots for residents. There are a few small business retailers and specialty shops around town, such as Leyden’s Winery and Tree Shop, Gordon’s Gourmet or Piecing With Poppers. Most residents, however, make the short trip into Coventry or Warwick for bulk shopping.
Small businesses to visit ...
Shopping in Warwick
Warwick is locally-known as the “Retail Capital of Rhode Island” for a reason. There are a ton of options here, whether you’re looking for major retailers or local shops. Take a trip down Route 2 and you’ll find dozens of shopping plazas, Warwick Mall, Rhode Island Mall, Bald Hill Road Shopping Plaza and more!
Don't forget West Warwick
West Warwick isn’t known for small business retail, but there are places in the downtown area where you’ll find local purveyors. Covering the “essentials” is easy for residents because of the close proximity to Route 2. This area of Warwick is known as the “retail capital,” with more than four miles of shopping plazas, plus the Rhode Island and Warwick Malls.

The main shopping attraction in Cranston is Garden City Center and Chapel View where you can find everything from apparel to upscale groceries to top-notch restaurants all in one place! Cranston is also home to many small business shopping districts, such as Rolfe Square and Pawtuxet Village.
Take a quick trip over to the city line to Warwick to visit the Rhode Island Mall or Warwick Mall.
Recreation & Activities
Like to get out on-the-town? Take a long stroll down the Washington Secondary Bike Path (the longest in the state at 19 miles) or explore the museums in Roger Williams Park Zoo. Cranston also has community attractions like Confreda Greenhouses and Farms, where you can visit the local farmer’s market. Or bring the family to Mulligan’s Island for mini golf, driving ranges, batting cages and more!
Roger Williams Park & Zoo
435 acres of public access land offering a variety of recreational and educational activities for visitors. You have more than five miles of walking paths throughout the wooded grounds, each wrapping around the three ponds inside the park. The park includes public gardens, tennis courts, ball fields, playgrounds, public art installations. Inside you’ll find the Museum of Natural History, the Botanical Center, the Temple to Music, and the Casino.
Washington Secondary Bike Path
Also called the “Trestle Trail”, Washington Secondary Bike Path is a 19-mile path extending from Cranston to the edges of Coventry and Connecticut. It’s picturesque, easily accessed at multiple points, and provides residents a great way for casual exercise throughout the year.
Mulligan’s Island
A very popular sports & recreation spot for locals. The facility is tropical themed and offers fun activities like mini golf, batting cages, pitch & putt, volleyball, and driving ranges. Your kids can join the golf academy or summer camps as well, where they can get professional instruction.
Confreda Greenhouses & Farm
Great place to visit for fresh produce, meat, and prepared gourmet foods. Confreda is especially known for its seasonal sweet corn and homemade pies. You can buy different plants, soil, and compost here as well. It’s a family-owned farm and business and the people here are always friendly!
Meshanticut Lake
A small, 12-acre lake within Meshanticut State Park. It’s a pleasant little lake and a good place to take children for a short paddle on very protected and easy waters. There is a public boat launch for hand-carried boats, canoes, and kayaks. Or you can take a leisurely stroll around their three-quarter-mile shaded walking path.
Budlong Pool & Recreation Facility
A seasonal in-ground public pool with lifeguards on-duty. It’s a very popular spot for kids, always kept clean, and affordable for Cranston residents ($3.00 for a day pass). The pool is enormous and accommodates hundreds of people during the busy season, and there are basketball courts and ball fields for public use.
Getting Around ...
Transportation
It’s very easy to navigate in and around Cranston. Two major highways run through the center of Cranston (I-95 & I-295) which lead into Providence or the northern suburbs of the city. Most areas of Cranston are within a 10 – 15 minute drive to T.F. Green Airport. Travelling through the center of Cranston, you have Route 2 and Route 5 — both of which are lined with shopping, restaurants, and recreation spots. Both streets lead into Lower South Providence and connect to I-95 and I-295 via the Route 37 connector.
Cranston is unique because it has all three types of housing situations — urban, suburban, and rural. Transportation methods vary depending on what neighborhood you live in. For instance, Western Cranston — which is everything west of I-295 and Route 37 — is more rural than the rest of the city. Route 51 and Route 12 are the main roads connecting this portion of the city to Scituate and West Warwick. RIPTA bus access is limited here compared to areas closer to Garden City or Pawtuxet Village. And it’s a little more “out of the way” if you’re riding a bike or walking.

Rolfe Square
Circling the area where Pontiac Avenue crosses Park Avenue, Rolfe Square is a popular neighborhood for walkability, shopping, and dining out. If you have a love for small business shopping, this is the place for you. Unlike Chapel View or Garden City Center, here you’ll find all local people running local businesses with hand-crafted and/specialty products. Rolfe Square had several ethnic marketplaces, cool “neighborhood” spots like Bettola Pizza Parlor, and Dave’s Market (a popular locally-owned food mart).
