Goddard reopened for swimming; Ninigret is closed

The state Health Department today reopened to swimming Goddard Memorial State Park in Warwick. Samples showed bacteria levels back to within acceptable limits.

The department closed to swimming the Ninigret Park Beach in Charlestown because of high bacteria counts. The area will reopen when it is deemed safe for swimming, the health department said.
