Independence Park

"So peaceful to sit and watch the boats and traffic in the harbor. We had breakfast at the Sunset Cafe just down the street - then spent a half hour at the park watching the harbor. Wonderful!"

"This is great, adorable little park. It is just large enough to accommodate outdoor events, and even concerts. We went last week, for the first time, to celebrate the Japanese-American Festival. There was a great turnout, complete with the U.S. Navy band. There is a great view of the bay with several benches available to relax and watch the sunset. Parking is also relatively easy to come by with a lot adjacent to the park."

"I had a great time at the 4th of July concerts. They had great food trucks! There is a foot path nearby that will take you along the water with a few benches along the way where you can sit & enjoy the view."

"It's a large park, right on the water. In the weeks before July 4th, there is always a concert series playing. Please check the lineup. During the concert series there are many food trucks present. And come early to set up your chair. There is a public restroom close by. Parking can be tough at this time. There is public transportation from RIPTA, and the bus 60 goes directly from Providence to Bristol. Yhis is also a beautiful place to walk and enjoy when nothing is going on."
