The Ten Mile River Greenway is three miles long and connects a number of recreational spaces and athletic fields, including Slater Park, in the northeast corner of Pawtucket. It is one of the few bike paths in Rhode Island that was not built along a former rail corridor. This means the path follows the natural contour of the land and provides a very scenic ride along rolling terrain on the banks of the James Turner Reservoir in East Providence.
Sabin Point Park is a 4.0-acre park that juts out into beautiful Narraganset Bay with views of the Pomham Rocks Lighthouse. The park includes a playground, basketball courts, pavilion, fishing pier, picnic tables and concrete walking paths. This little gem is open year-round from sunrise to sunset.
The East Bay Bike Path follows much of the shoreline through East Providence for over five miles with breathtaking views of the Narragansett Bay and the Pomham Rocks Lighthouse, and then continues for another nine miles on its way to Bristol, Rhode Island. About your ride: A split-rail fence and grassy area separate you from the roadway with a fairly steep incline before flattening out. In a short distance, you'll pass two parking lots which are popular starting points for riding the path. After the second lot, get ready for a steep downhill toward the waterfront and the former rail right-of-way. This is one of the most scenic sections of the bikeway, with the path running along a causeway with the Providence River at right and small coves on the left. Strong head winds are possible along this segment of the path. The path crosses through Kettle Point with some connecting paths. After passing by Squantum Woods Park, riders pass through a long tunnel under Bullocks Point Avenue before reaching Riverside Square in East Providence. This is the first stop on the path for water, food and restrooms. The path then passes through a heavily wooded corridor of the bikeway and Haines State Park, which has picnic facilities and access to the water. Along the way the path crosses Crescent View Avenue. Turning right off the bikeway will take you to Crescent Park and a historic 1895 Looff carousel. Alternative parking at 1 Washington Avenue in East Providence.

Uncle Tony's Pizza & Pasta founder, Edward A. Carosi, recalls when he was a kid making ravioli in the basement of his grandmother’s house. Everything was made from scratch. They would jar tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant, which were all fresh from his grandmother's garden. He grew up with great home-cooked Italian food made the old-fashioned way. When he opened the first Uncle Tony’s Pizza & Pasta in 1969, he was determined to serve their products as fresh and tasty as the great food he had as a kid, and they do that seven days a week at every Uncle Tony’s Pizza & Pasta restaurant. But don't take his word for it, taste for yourself!

Located across from Rose Larisa Park with views of the bay, the Crescent Park Looff Carousel was built in 1895 by Charles I.D. Looff, one of the earliest and foremost carousel designers. The Carousel is nationally recognized as a true masterpiece of wood sculpture. Originally built as a showcase for prospective buyers, it is the largest and most elaborate of Looff's works. The Carousel contains 62 beautifully hand carved figures and four fanciful chariots. Overall richness of effect was Looff's trademark and the Crescent Park Looff Carousel gives full interpretation to that spirit. Elaborate embellishments of decorative panels, beveled mirrors, faceted glass jewels, electric lights, colored sandwich glass windows and its original band organ music surround flying steeds to create Looff's "Total Carousel Experience." Saved in the 1970's by a handful of residents, the Carousel was placed on the National Register of Historic Sites and Places in 1976. In 1985, the Rhode Island General Assembly proclaimed the Carousel as the State Jewel of American Folk Art and in 1987, the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, designated the Carousel as a National Historic Landmark.
