Crescent Park, Former amusement park in East Providence, United States.
The park extended across 10 acres between the Looff Carousel and Narragansett Bay, offering multiple recreational facilities and walking paths along the waterfront.
Founded in 1886 by George B. Boyden, Crescent Park operated until 1979, featuring notable attractions including the Rhode Island Shore Dinners and the Alhambra Ballroom.
The 1895 Crescent Park Looff Carousel, with its 61 hand-carved horses, camel, four chariots, and German band organ, represents exceptional craftsmanship.
The park facilities remained accessible from sunrise to sunset, with reservations for picnic areas managed through the East Providence Recreation Department.
Charles I.D. Looff established his carousel manufacturing facility at Crescent Park in 1905, using the location as a showcase for his artistic creations.
