Distanced, but Socially Connected in Lewis Park

Featured Articles News & Updates

It was a quiet gathering in Lewis Park on Main Street in the Village of Warwick on Sat., July 25 when people came out to enjoy the annual George Washington Celebration, a 103-year-old tradition, commemorating the Founding Father’s visit to Warwick in 1782.

Attendees remained physically distanced yet socially connected when the Warwick Historical Society (WHS) presented a free showing of the classic film, “The Wizard of Oz” on a 21-foot screen in the beautiful green space on Main Street in the Village of Warwick. 

All-Level Yoga Throughout the Week

During COVID-19, the WHS has partnered with numerous yoga instructors to offer all-level yoga sessions in the park throughout the week: Mondays at 9:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m., Wednesdays at 8 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., Thursdays at 6:30 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays at 9:30 a.m., and scheduled Sundays at 11 a.m.

The land that is currently Lewis Park was once a used car lot until the generous Lewis family donated the space to the Warwick Historical Society, to be maintained as open space for the benefit of the Town.
