Exercise and activity in the Ocean State

Greenville Avenue is at the epicenter of Johnston recreation. In the middle of the neighborhood is Johnston Memorial Park, a vast green space with a woodsy paved pathway around a pond. On the weekends, kids play baseball on Kennedy Field and scale the park’s playground. “You walk your dog there if you want. It’s a small park for Johnston residents. Anyone can go, but it’s mostly Johnston residents,” Coupe says. Basketball, volleyball and gymnastics happen at the Johnston Indoor Recreation Center, which holds open gym for Johnston residents on Saturdays.
