Roger Williams Park is an elaborately landscaped 427-acre city park in Providence, Rhode Island and a historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is named after Roger Williams, the founder of the city of Providence and the primary founder of the state of Rhode Island; the land for the park was a gift to the people of Providence in 1872, in accordance with the will of Betsey Williams, the last descendant of Roger Williams to inherit his land. It had been the family farm and was the last of the original land granted to Roger Williams in 1638 by Canonicus, chief of the Narragansett tribe; the family farmhouse is now known as the Betsey Williams Cottage. The original bequest consisted of about 100 acres. Additional land to the south was purchased in 1891 at a cost of $359,000, consisting of unimproved land, covered with woods and ponds; the natural history museum opened in 1895. The Rhode Island Foundation began a renovation effort in the park in 2016 as a celebration of their centennial, beginning with the park's historic bandstand in December 2016.

The renovations will expand to other park entrances. In June 2017, a dedicated bike and pedestrian lane was added to Frederick Green Memorial Boulevard as part of these renovations, although this change was opposed by some Cranston residents, including Cranston mayor Allan Fung; the park contains seven lakes which comprise 98 acres, it is located in the southernmost part of the city of Providence bordering the city of Cranston. It was constructed in the 1880s. Many of the roads and sidewalks were built by the Works Progress Administration from 1935 to 1940; the National Trust for Historic Preservation called Roger Williams Park one of the finest urban parks in the US in their 2000 annual report.
