When you visit Roger Williams National Memorial with your dog, remember to B.A.R.K.:

Bag your pet’s waste and take it to the nearest trash can.
Always leash your pet. Respect wildlife. Know where you can go.

National Parks are a great place to bring your dogs. To make your visit more enjoyable, the National Park Service has created the B.A.R.K. Ranger program.
Dogs on leashes are welcome on the grounds of Roger Williams National Memorial. Except for service animals, pets are not permitted inside the visitor center.
