Rovensky Park

Rovensky Park is a green space on Bellevue Avenue in Newport with walking trails and open areas for strolling. The park offers a quiet setting with trees and lawns in the midst of this densely built neighborhood.

The land was acquired in 1959 by the Preservation Society of Newport County, funded through an endowment honoring a deceased woman. This purchase helped secure green space in an area known for valuable historic houses.

The name comes from a donor's family memory, and the park reflects Newport's tradition of keeping green space within neighborhoods of grand estates. Visitors can see how the city balances nature with residential areas.

The park is accessible year-round and works well for walking, picnicking, or quiet time outdoors. Visitors should note that access may be limited at times, so checking current conditions in advance is helpful.

This is one of the few remaining undeveloped places along the famous Bellevue Avenue, which is mostly lined with large estates. The park's existence creates a visual contrast to the walled residential properties surrounding it.
