Burnside Park, Providence, Rhode Island, Protected area in Downtown Providence, United States.
The park contains a 20-foot tall bronze equestrian statue of General Burnside and the marble Bajnotti Fountain near Kennedy Plaza.
Established in 1892, the land was acquired from railroad companies and part of the former Cove Basin to create a public space.
The Bajnotti Fountain, designed by sculptor Enid Yandell in 1902, represents three allegorical elements: life, spirit, and earthly tendencies.
Located at 2 Kennedy Plaza, the park provides direct access to Providence's main transportation hub and downtown area.
General Ambrose Burnside's distinctive facial hair style led to the creation of the term 'sideburns' in the English language.
