Remnants of the Rocky Point Amusement Park are still visible today. In operation from the 1840s to 1996, the amusement park was once the biggest attraction in Rhode Island complete with a dining hall serving classic New England food and hosting concerts.

The remains of the park include a gondola ride and some steps leading up to the horror house. There is also a large arch originally built for the 1964 World’s Fair.
