Rockwell Park is a 1.2-acre harborside park at the end of John Street on historic Thames Street. The park has a fairly new dock system for residents as well as some space for transient boaters. The park also has a playground with slides and swings for younger children, a boardwalk, and benches.

Firefighters' Memorial Park was formally part of Rockwell Park. In 1995 Fire Chief David Sylvaria requested this park to honor all deceased members of the Bristol Fire Department. As you enter the park you are greeted with a stone which bears the Seal of the Town of Bristol. Then a list of all of Bristol's Fire Companies: The Board of Engineers, Engine 4, Emergency Rescue Squad, Fire Police, Fireman's Memorial and Welfare Committee, the Former King Philip Steam Eng. Co.#1, and Ladies Auxiliary. Each year on the second Sunday of June, the Bristol Fire Department memorializes its members who have passed away with a parade and a ceremony. When visiting the park, enjoy it and please respect and honor the firefighters of the Town of Bristol.  Firefighters' Memorial Park is just south of Rockwell Park.
