George B. Parker Woodland Wildlife Refuge is one of the better reasons to leave Coventry's main roads. The Audubon property protects a large tract of western Rhode Island woodland, with trails passing stone walls, wetland edges, glacial boulders, and the kind of second-growth forest that rewards slow walking.
It is not a manicured park, and that is the appeal. Wear shoes that can handle mud and roots, bring insect repellent in warm months, and treat it as a quiet nature walk rather than a facilities-heavy family park.
