Warwick. Children enjoy an early spring at Stanley-Deming Park

Punxsutawney Phil may be right.

In a rare occasion the groundhog emerged from his den this year and did not see his shadow, signifying early spring, according to folklore.

So far, that’s been good news, especially for the children and their parents enjoying a mild winter's day in the new playground in Warwick’s Stanley-Deming Park.
