How to get to Goddard Memorial State Park
Goddard Memorial State Park sits in Warwick, about 15 minutes (9 miles) south of downtown Providence via I-95 and Route 1, and roughly 1 hour 15 minutes from Boston. The nearest airport for fly-and-rent travelers is T.F. Green International Airport in Warwick, about 15 minutes away. Access roads are standard suburban routes without mountain passes or major RV restrictions, though the park's internal roads are narrow and tree-lined, so drivers of larger Class A motorhomes should use caution when turning and parking. Watch for low branches along the shaded carriage drives.
