Public Outreach Timeline

2020: Phase I

Permanent display boards were installed at the Seal House. These beautifully designed boards visually demonstrate how stormwater runoff is generated in urban environments, as well as what contaminants it can carry into local waterways. A large map of BMP locations within Roger Williams Park is also featured in this location. View digital versions of the display boards here!

2022: Phase II

A self-guided walking tour is also available at the Roger Williams Park Seal House. Look for the bright blue newspaper box and grab a brochure! This tour will take you on a ~1 mile accessible loop around Roosevelt Lake, featuring a variety of green infrastructure types. You can view our self-guided tour brochure digitally here.

2024: Phase III

In 2024, Park attendees will be able to supplement their self-guided green infrastructure tours with an augmented reality component! With the help of DWELL Lab and URI Professor Madison Jones, users will be able to experience our self-guided tour with additional visual and video elements.
