WARWICK, R.I. -- Bring your memories of summers past and your ideas for the future.
A nonprofit group that lobbied tirelessly for the public acquisition of the seaside spot that was once Rocky Point amusement park is holding a forum Tuesday to solicit Rhode Islander's thoughts on what they think the state Department of Environmental Management should do with the property.
The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. at Rhodes-on-the-Pawtuxet in Cranston, said John Howell, Warwick newspaper publisher and president of the nonprofit Rocky Point Foundation.
"We're looking for ideas -- any ideas and all possibilities," said Howell, adding that the foundation is working with the DEM in planning the future for the 82 acres of the landmark park it purchased this year with open space bond money.
