About Diamond Hill Park

 

Diamond Hill Park, located in Cumberland, Rhode Island, is a 373-acre gem known for its expansive trails and vibrant recreational opportunities.

It was once a thriving ski resort in the mid-20th century, and remnants of this era can still be seen today, adding historical intrigue to the park's natural appeal. Visitors can enjoy hiking, mountain biking, and even sledding in the winter on the same hills that once served as ski slopes. The park features a rich ecology with mixed woodlands and ponds, providing a habitat for local wildlife.
