Waterplace Park, Urban park in downtown Providence, United States.
Waterplace Park features a network of cobblestone walkways alongside a river system with Venetian-style bridges and illuminated sidewalks throughout the grounds.
The 1994 River Relocation Project transformed an old railroad junction into this park, uncovering the Providence River that was previously hidden beneath pavement.
The park hosts numerous community events, including outdoor concerts, art exhibitions, and seasonal celebrations that unite residents from different neighborhoods.
Located at the intersection of downtown Providence and East Side, this park offers multiple entry points with adjacent parking facilities and easy access to public transportation.
The WaterFire art installation illuminates the river with more than 80 floating braziers during scheduled evenings between May and November.
