[2] In later years, Rocky Point's locally famous logo of a lobster tipping his hat was used in much of the park's advertising both in TV commercials and in print.

In addition to its amusement rides, Rocky Point also occasionally hosted concerts in its Palladium Ballroom.

Musical artists who performed at the venue during its final 30 years of operation include: The Yardbirds (1967), Big Brother and the Holding Company with Janis Joplin (1968), Sly & The Family Stone (1969), REO Speedwagon, AC/DC and Thin Lizzy (1978), The Fixx (1983), Blue Öyster Cult (1984), Samantha Fox (1989), Jane's Addiction (1991), Pat Benatar (1991), Ramones (1991), Red Hot Chili Peppers and Pearl Jam (1991), Pixies (1991), Siouxsie and the Banshees (1992), Public Image Limited (1992), Sonic Youth (1992), "Weird Al" Yankovic (1992), Dream Theater (1993), Peter Frampton (1994), Lush and Weezer (1994), Scorpions (1994), and the venue's final concert, Roomful of Blues (1994).

[3][4][5][6] The park was the inspiration for the title of Rocky Point Holiday, a 1966 composition for wind band by Ron Nelson.

[9] After the Rocky Point land was purchased for $8.5 million in 2003, the park's main building, known as the "Big House", was hit by vandals who lit it on fire on September 2, 2004.

[11] In February 2008, the city of Warwick secured a federal grant to purchase about half of the 82 acres (33 ha) remaining Rocky Point Park, including much of the view of the bay.

The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM) will oversee the operation and maintenance of the entire property.

On June 26, 2011, Rocky Point was once again opened to the public and features a new asphalt mile long walking path along the shore of Narragansett Bay.

A few elements of the park remain, including the upper and lower stations for the Skyliner gondola ride, ruins of an old water tank, and a large arch by the entrance that was originally built for the 1964 World's Fair in Flushing, Queens, and subsequently moved to Rocky Point.
