I attend Church Beyond The Walls by the statue of General Burnside. I find it a peaceful place and a unfortunately chaotic issues of Kennedy Plaza. The other night waiting on my bus has the sun had set, and the gloaming headset in. The lighting was perfect to take a few snaps.

Pretty clean for a park in the middle of downtown Providence. Interesting statues. Amazing trees. A sketch artists dream. Lots of fun features. Close to dining, entertainment, shopping, and more. A great place to stop and rest.

Nice park that has a lot going on, especially during summer. It is somewhat small, but has a really nice playground for kids. There’s always something going on here, from marching bands to political rallies to farmer’s markets. It’s definitely not the cleanest park in Providence, lots of huge rats running around at night. All in all a good park to come see on a summer day.

Great little park in the centre of town! Must be awesome for people staying downtown with kids. Love the fountain and gardens. Must be awesome in Winter with the skating nearby too.

Very nice park, however too many low lifes smokeing & sneak drinking, swearing and just hanging around the park. Parents trying to give their little ones a nice time in the play area which is impossible. Young teens skipping school and are always causing trouble. Authorities are doing absolutely nothing to keep trouble makers from the area. Truly a doggone shame and what an embarrassment to vacationers who visit the downtown area.

This is a great park. Have you ever wanted to see a fountain? Not just any fountain, but a fountain with angels grappling fine young men? This is the park for you. It even had a secret tree message.

Small well maintained park with a great small playground for young children. Also an excellent water fountain from the turn of the last century. A work of art.

Its a clean area,not much to see. Summer time there is some music. Lots of homeless around begging. Not very safe at night

Review №21

This is a nice park to bring children, however some days this place is ridden with undesirables, smelly drunks, and disrespectful people. When police are around the park is nice but otherwise you have to deal with smokers and teens who use the park to skip school.

Wonderful city park, they have really improved over the years. This is a downtown area so itll have its cons but its generally a nice place to relax and drink some Dels lemonade while you walk your dog or just enjoy the scenery

This is our absolute favorite Park in the city the playground itself is really creative. During weekdays at noon they have live music tons of art development programs and dress up. Its both fun for kids and parents and extremely educational. Its also a quick walk from the Providence Place mall and Kennedy Square so theres plenty of travel nearby and food and drink.

Spent a good few hours climbing around here. Could do with some shade from the sun though...

This is one component of the city’s primary public space, along with Kennedy Plaza and the Alex and Ani City Center skating rink. The more than 100-year-old Bajnotti Fountain is the centerpiece of the tree-lined park. Given its proximity to Kennedy Plaza and the financial district, this park isn’t going to offer much peace and quiet, but in the summer it provides plenty of much-needed shade.

The park was under construction when I went, and it was pretty crowded, but looks like once its done and less people are there, it should be very nice to walk through.

Review №34

Exciting and always changing. Every year they have the farmers market, storytelling, dancers, an open garden, or movie time. Plus, sitting below the trees, listening to the music, and the water flowing on the large fountain its just perfect And most of the time on my way back home I stop at the food trucks, and lemonade stand, or icecream stand. This year the city installed tables and chairs near the skating rink.

Really cool park! Theres a kids playground which has a lot of options for kids to choose to play from. Its in a nice location. There is no parking lot structure. You would have to find parking on a side street and walk. Its worth a visit. There seems to always be events happening.

Not a bad spot to stop for a rest, just watch out for the mounted police on their horses should you decide to lie down on the ground. One could get step in some poop or be stepped on!

Great place for WARM to take her dump & for me to smoke some medical, sit in front of the water fountain watch all the beautiful people. Keep da smoking on da down low as all parks in Providence are smoke free. Providence Park Rangers sneak up real quick on those bikes, boom they see the smoke your done...WARM is my service puppy....;-) Peace all you Providence Homeless, it will get better... Hope..

A very centrally located park in the middle of downtown Providence. The park features a nice fountain and statue of Burnside. Unfortunately it also features a ton of panhandlers and sketchy people, even in broad daylight. The weird art hut is kind of cool, but I wouldnt walk here alone at night for sure.
