From racetracks to retail, Narragansett Park has been part of Rhode Island history for generations. 🏇
The former Narragansett Park racetrack opened in 1934 and quickly became a major New England destination, drawing tens of thousands of spectators and hosting some of the biggest names in horse racing.
After the track closed in 1978, the property entered a new chapter. Carpionato Group later acquired and redeveloped a portion of the former racetrack site into Narragansett Park Plaza in 1985.
Today, the property is evolving once again. A new Taco Bell helped set the latest redevelopment into motion, followed by Verizon, Starbucks, Pollo Campero, Wendy’s, Planet Fitness and more to come.
Nearly a century later, Narragansett Park continues to change with the times while remaining part of the community.
From the starting gate to its next chapter, Narragansett Park is ready for its next lap. 🏁
