My spots for walking and hiking. All dog-friendly.
So many lovely trails to walk and dog friendly! This is not one park. Trails are throughout several towns- many in Exeter. Browning Mill Pond is an easy loop around the pond(Dambo Troll currently there!). Kid friendly. Across the street is a nice boa...

Located in the southern part of the state. Great place for walking. Dog and kid friendly. Seafood festival in the summer! (August)
Ninigret Park
Big park with walking trails, places to picnic, horse trails. Lots of grassy areas if you just want to put out a chair and read.
Goddard Memorial State Park
Lovely park by the ocean! Plenty of walking to be done. Grassy areas. Picnic spots.
Colt State Park
The bike path is long and can get picked up in multiple places. You can access from the Amtrak train station in Kingston but the path is very long so check out other places for easy access.

One the largest ponds in RI. Lovely place. In summer there’s a public beach (small fee). Trail goes around pond. Large campground too.
