WARWICK, R.I. (AP) - A Warwick beach is getting $600,000 worth of upgrades.
The changes at Oakland Beach include construction of an accessible splash park, a playground upgrades and boardwalk improvements by the seawall, Mayor Joseph Solomon said.
“These improvements will offer additional opportunities for families to enjoy a day by the ocean, increase access to the beach and the water for those with disabilities, improve water quality, and help to beautify the area,” Solomon said this week.
The improvements are being funded by state and federal grant money.
The area “will be transformed into a fun space, that residents and people of all ages and abilities can enjoy,” the mayor said.
The project is expected to be complete by September 2021.
