Downtown Providence Park Network

Our mission is to convene partners, steward spaces, and activate 20 acres of public parks, including the waterways that connect them, spanning from the Point Street Bridge to Waterplace, I-195 Park, Kennedy Plaza, Burnside Park, the Rink, and Biltmore Park. As a public-private partnership, we collaborate with The City of Providence, The Downtown Improvement District, The Providence Parks Department, the I-195 District Park, community organizations, and the business community to bring vitality to our downtown parks. We prioritize water activation and environmental justice, ensuring these public spaces not only foster democracy, civic pride, and economic vitality but also serve as inclusive, sustainable environments where all can connect, engage, and celebrate our shared community.
