World War II Veterans Memorial State Park is a public recreation area located in the city of Woonsocket, Rhode Island.

Since 1979, the park has hosted the three-day Autumnfest celebration held annually on Columbus Day Weekend.

[3][5] In 2012, the city and state governments were embroiled in a controversy over who should take responsibility for future maintenance of the park.

The director of the Department of Environmental Management announced that a $2.6 million plan to refurbish the park, which had fallen into a state of disrepair, would be put on hold until a long-term agreement regarding park maintenance and staffing could be reached with the city.

Improvements under the project saw redesigned grounds with splash park, playground and outdoor activities area, basketball courts, and the new little league baseball field near Social Street.
