I envision public access for kayaking, hiking trails, community gardens, a Farmer's Market & wind turbines whirring overhead. Sheep grazing in pastures w/ their wool processed locally for Rocky Point Blankets & Sweaters. The turbines would provide enough power for the site with the excess energy sold to 'The Grid' & the proceeds used to bolster Warwick's bottom line.

So many memories with family and friends at Rocky Point. I would LOVE to relive those memories and someday be able to return to the park grounds.

This place meant so much to me, and so many other rhode islanders. it was our home away from home. there aren’t many places left that hold such wonderful memories like this land, and it should be preserved. personally i would love to see something similar to the rocky point amusement park, perhaps at a smaller scale even, to keep it maintainable financially. maybe a carousel, and a ferris wheel to start, throw in some go carts or something like that too. either way, this land should belong to us, the people of rhode island.

Rocky Point offers access to the Bay, links to our past, and a once in a lifetime opportunity to restore and open one of the most beautiful and dramatic stretches of Rhode Island's coastline for the enjoyment of future generations. Save The Bay will work side by side with the Rocky Point Foundation and others in their efforts.

I can remember going to Rocky Point when i was little. My parents would bring my brother and me to the park during the summers. I used to love looking out at the water, riding the Corkscrew and eating at the Dinner Hall. I would love to be able to go in and walk around the old park and look at the water again. It's a big part of the area's history and is important to a lot of people. To put condos or anything else on it would be a shame and a waste. This land should be preserved for future generations to enjoy. The stories that get passed down from generation to generation would be even better if they were told on the actual grounds where they happened. I really hope that in the future i will be able to walk there with my children and tell them about what it used to be like.

Like everybody else who grew up around there, Rocky Point means alot to my family. My Dad's fist job was waiting tables in the Shore Dinner Hall before WWII. And my folks and my Grandma who lived in Apponaug took us kids there just about every summer. It was magic.Its still a magic place to take in the amazing view of the bay. Hope it remains a public space forever. Thanks to all who have worked to make that happen!

I've never even really been to Rocky Point. I was four when it closed, but recently one of my friends from Warwick drove me to the place where it used to be. There is this presence about the land...a history; a legacy. Stories from this place will be passed down for generations and that is something that should be preserved. Although I have never had the personal opportunity to experience Rocky Point, I wish that I had. Because as a Rhode Islander, I feel that it is a part of my personal history.

Please keep Rocky Point open! I haven't been able to take my kids there due to it's closure. Please do not rob me of the experience of doing what my parents and their parents before then have been able to do, share a beautiful area with their children!

My family and I would go there every summer as kids. It was always a lot of fun. Now that I am a parent I wish it was still open so my son could have some summer fun at the park and having lasting memories.

I am a native RIslander and remember many, many fun times at this landmark. If and when it ever is open again, you can be sure that I will go when I come up to RI to visit.

It's a great opportunity for the fishing community to gain some access to the bay especially since we've been losing the access battle for a while. I remember as a young boy fishing off that dock and look forward to that opportunity again.

I, the same as many Rhode Islanders spent many amazing and fun-filled days at Rocky Point, and I have some awesome memories I will never forget, I even recently purchased the Rocky Point picture done by Frank Galasso, as well as the Rocky Point ornament for my tree, I would love to see this land open to the public, even if the park buildings are gone it would still be awesome to be able to revisit my old stomping grounds.

Rocky Point was a great place to go on a warm summer evening. I remember sitting on the small grass hill near the office, waiting for 4th of July fireworks to start. We need keep this beautiful part of RI open to the public for future generations to enjoy.

I remember Rocky Point as a boy and my last visits were in 1970 at age ten and in 1972. I remember riding that Rocky Point Express during my last visit with my family and this spanish woman with her child were on this train sitting behind us and she thought some how that train was going up that water flume and come down it as the train passed near the flume and my grandmother told her that it was going to be ok and that the train was not going to go down that flume. That sky liner really gave nice views of the Bay from when you reached the top of that hill and came back down. and acourse the house of Horrors was another favorite of mine as a kid back then. This is a great worth while project and to preserve a little memory for us all of that beautiful view. Best Wishes and keep me posted with the latest developments.
