About the Venue

Al Carrington Water Park at Richardson Park is one of Providence's seasonal city-operated splash spots, open during the summer waterpark schedule. It works best for quick neighborhood cool-down visits, especially for families pairing water play with time in the surrounding park. Expect a simple municipal splash-pad setup rather than a staffed destination attraction.
