The Warwick Center for the Arts is open Wednesday – Saturday from 11a.m. – 3 p.m.

Sensory Play Saturday, Warwick Public Library Designed for families with children ages 4 to 8, especially welcoming those children on the spectrum.  Drop in to the Children’s library program room anytime between 10 a.m. & 12 p.m.  for sensory play.  Go at your own pace as you and your child visit the interactive stations to touch, see, and explore.

Soil Testing & Kiosk, URI Master Gardeners URI Master Gardener volunteers will conduct free soil pH testing, and answer your questions at the Kiosk.  The soil test helps determine soil pH levels and predominant soil texture, and provides basic information and recommendations for gradual correction of soil pH and compaction issues. This program will be outside, weather permitting, in the small meeting room if it’s raining.
