North Kingstown Beach Playground To Close For Construction

NORTH KINGSTOWN, MA — North Kingstown Beach Campus Playground will be closing for construction starting Monday, January 18.

The closing is in preparation for the spring opening of a new and improved playground, according to a Facebook post from the town.
