Prospect Terrace Park, Protected area in College Hill, Providence, United States.
Prospect Terrace Park rises above Downtown Providence, offering views of the city skyline from its elevated position on Congdon Street.
The park, established in 1869 through land donations from local residents, became the final resting place for Roger Williams remains in 1939.
A 15-foot granite statue commemorates Roger Williams, who founded Rhode Island and championed religious freedom in colonial America.
Visitors can find street parking near the park entrance, and pets are permitted within the grounds when kept on a leash.
The remains of Roger Williams were discovered entangled in an apple tree roots, which are now displayed at the John Brown House Museum.
