About Haines Memorial State Park

Haines Memorial State Park sits on the eastern shore of Narragansett Bay and is run by Rhode Island State Parks. It began as two picnic groves, and ball fields were later added for sports. During the 1930s, Civilian Conservation Corps workers built fireplaces and shaped the turf away from the beach. A footbridge once linked the park to neighboring Crescent Park, but a 1938 hurricane destroyed it. Visitors can find a handicap-accessible boat ramp, restrooms, and game fields that groups can rent through the Town of Barrington. The park also hosts a seasonal farmers market and lies along the East Bay Bike Path.
