Crescent Park is a very nice and well maintained park along the urban shoreline of the upper Narragansett Bay. It is a peaceful and great park for dog walks, shoreline walks, or to sit in nature. The large beach and lowkey park often has nice events like band concerts or car shows. It features a historic 125-year-old Merry Go Round. There is a picnic area with tables and a great view across the street, near the parking lot and walking trails. After environmental improvements, the upper bay has been reopened to shellfishing.
