I visited and made a video here 6 years ago, and in that time it's become barely recognizable. The pathways throughout the park are gone, along with some of the main buildings," said Allard.

The video is the latest since Allard, with Uncommon Sense Media, posted a nearly two-minute video of Barrington's Belton Court Estate, which most recently was the Zion Bible Institute, before it moved to Massachusetts in 2008 -- leaving the property vacant.

"This is the latest video in my Abandoned series, and it's been on my list for a while now," said Allard of the Enchanted Forest. "The last time I visited the Enchanted Forest was about six years ago as a URI student, when I first began exploring abandoned places. In those six years the park has changed drastically and is nearly completely reclaimed by nature."
"Of course, the park's condition made this a challenging shoot with my drone. I couldn't go above the canopy or everything would be hidden, so I had to keep it low and avoid limbs and vines while still having smooth shots. There were a few close calls but I managed to get everything!" said Allard.
