Rocky Point Park, located on the scenic Narragansett Bay in Warwick, Rhode Island, has a rich history that dates to the mid-19th century. Originally conceived by Captain William Winslow in the 1840s, the park began offering amusements and dinner services by 1847. Over the years, it evolved into a beloved amusement park, featuring a variety of attractions such as the Cyclone and Corkscrew roller coasters, the Log Flume water ride, the Skyliner gondola ride with its bird’s-eye view of Narragansett Bay, the spooky Castle of Horrors and the famous Shore Dinner Hall, which served iconic Rhode Island clam cakes and steamers. The park also had classic amusement rides like carousels, bumper cars, and Ferris wheels, as well as arcade games and live entertainment.

During its peak in the mid-20th century, Rocky Point Park was one of Rhode Island's most popular destinations. It hosted numerous concerts, including performances by iconic bands like The Yardbirds, Janis Joplin, and AC/DC. The park also played a unique role in sports history, hosting a baseball game in 1903 when blue laws prevented the Boston Beaneaters from playing at their usual home park. The park's salt-water swimming pool even hosted tryouts for the 1936 Summer Olympics.

However, by the 1990s, Rocky Point Park faced financial difficulties and ultimately closed in 1995. The site sat abandoned for years, becoming a popular spot for urban explorers and vandals. In 2008, the city and state purchased the land, and it was reopened as Rocky Point State Park in 2014. Today, visitors can enjoy the beautiful coastal views and walk along the paths that once hosted thrill rides and memorable events.

Gone but not forgotten.

Located on Narragansett Bay, the original Shore Dinner Hall (shown on the postcard) was destroyed in 1954 by Hurricane Carol. A new, even larger hall was built to replace it, hailed as the World’s Largest Shore Dinner Hall, feeding nearly a half-million people who visited Rocky Point’s eatery each summer. The menu featured clam chowder, steamed clams, clam cakes, lobster, fish, corn on the cob, French fries, and watermelon. The most popular meal consisted of all-you-can-eat clam cakes, chowder, and watermelon for $1.50. By the year 2000, the price had risen to $12.95. [Source: WBSM.com]

Rocky Point Park opened in 1847 and was a favorite haunt in my youth. It closed in 1996. The Shore Dinner Hall served its last clam cake in 2000. They’re gone but not forgotten.
