Diamond Hill Park & Bike Trail

Diamond Hill Park gets its name for the mile-long face of mica-laden rocks dotting the hills that glitter in the sunlight. The park is a great place to do some mountain biking, jogging, hiking, have a picnic, or enjoy a free concert. Climb to the summit and you can see for miles around on a clear day. Once you've gotten to the top of the former ski slopes (the smaller hill on the left is a much easier hike) you come to walking trails from which you can see the Diamond Hill Reservoir to the east and Woonsocket and beyond to the west. There are picnic sites throughout the park with permits required only for outings and barbecues. The pond in front of the bandstand is a favorite of kids looking for frogs and tadpoles. Bring a net and bucket for observing. Bathroom facilities are open only during special events and outings by permit.
