TOURS

The Stormwater Innovation Center offers tours to a variety of groups, including K-12 students, college students, stormwater professionals, municipal employees, and the general public.

 

Roger Williams Park is home to over 30 structural BMPs. Tours highlight a variety of green infrastructure projects, ranging from bioswales to infiltration basins.

 

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!

 

An augmented reality component will soon be available through a collaboration with URI’s DWELL Lab. By downloading the HoverLay app, participants will be able to view the tour on their mobile devices. These will include additional visual and auditory components that add further dimension to the concepts presented within the tour.

 

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. Our self-guided tour brochure is available here.
