So what a place Park is absolutely beautiful it's a cool place to hang out if you can throw a blanket down somewhere and just chill out it's definitely worth your time just to meditate there for a few minutes and also to walk around you guys spectacular he was in the city from a different perspective now I was asked if I could stay more about the following topics topic number one playground? I'm not sure I understand because there is no playground there in a nutshell there is no playground at all restrooms you had better have a very resilience bladder and use the bathroom before you leave home or not be the type that is more fried by pain in a bush because I'll tell you what they should have built a restroom here they were definitely remiss it is definitely a dog friendly area many dogs only shows that are well socialize and able to interact with each other so it's a great place for your dog to go along I bring my dog every single time there isn't really a picnic area per se but there is an area where there's a bunch of tables and on the weekends...

Very calming atmosphere. Went one night with the family and there was nobody else there so it was nice to just look over the water and do some relaxation. Admittedly, there's nothing really interesting there to look at besides the distant buildings and slow-moving water, but that's good enough for someone who is just looking to relax for a bit. There are a few trash cans around and a good amount of benches for people to sit and relax.

Also, I saw a bunny hopping around the park which was kind of cool because I didn't know there were bunnies in this area. I saw some more the next day as well outside of the park. Also, if you're here during the warmer months and are hanging around dusk or dawn, I recommend using mosquito repellant on your body because I did get a couple of bites because I was wearing shorts and short sleeve, but it was nothing serious and not the fault of the park. Wildlife is wildlife. And just something else to note, I heard an owl making its hoot noises, but didn't get a...

Waterplace Park is located in downtown Providence with views of the Woonasquatucket River (try saying that three times fast). There is a 3/4 mile paved walkway with bridges. Across the street is the huge Providence Place Mall. Every year, the popular Waterfire event occurs there; they light a bonfires that are strategically placed on the river. This is an urban park with a city view. I used to hang out there as a teenager; prowl the mall then a walk to the park, typical teenager stuff. It's a great place to go for a walk and sightseeing. There are tons of restaurants and bars nearby. There is on street parking and you can pay to park at the mall. If you're in the area, definitely check out this popular landmark...
