Diamond Hill (Cumberland, Rhode Island)

"[1] In the colonial era, the Whipple family (the children of John Whipple, Sr.) first settled near Diamond Hill, and during King Philip's War in the 1670s, several skirmishes occurred nearby, including Nine Men's Misery, the memorial of which is now on the grounds of the nearby Cumberland Monastery.

[1][2] In 1935 "Philip Allen, C. Faulkner Kendall, and Henry Munroe Rogers offered 235 acres of land on the hill to the State of Rhode Island" and ski trails were cut shortly thereafter.

[4][5] The park features athletic fields, picnic areas, 3.8 miles of hiking trails[6] and a band stand near the pond.

A popular event, Cumberlandfest, is held each year on the second weekend of August at Diamond Hill Park.

This event features a carnival, with rides and various venues, as well as live entertainment by Matty KayKay and a small fireworks show.
