Saugatucket Park Undergoes Major Enhancements with Eye on the Future

Saugatucket Park on High Street is the focus of planned infrastructure improvements that commenced on February 5, 2024.
Overseen by the Parks and Recreation Department, the project entails the introduction of a new asphalt walking path, the removal of a chain-link fence, and the management of invasive species, all in line with the park's original master plan by the Olmsted Brothers Landscape Architects.

Temporary measures such as fencing and soil and erosion control are in place to protect the park during the renovations, which are partially funded by a RIDEM Recreation Development Grant. The department has asked for public patience during the project, promising a revitalized space upon completion.
