Waterplace Park Memorial Boulevard, Providence, RI 02903

"Nice place. Needs some life and activities. Very dismal. I was visiting from NYC. Couldn’t find one thing to do here. Unfortunately. There was an ice rink few blocks away we went by look around and left."

"A lovely place in providence, for strolling, running biking. Some people only know it at night, when water fire is here. Which I will hopefully attend and add pictures. But it really is just as beautiful during a sunny day. It is located near the mall, and many great restaurants are around it. Get takeout and enjoy the view."

"Love going to the water place park. Then go over to the pedestrian Bridge. Over see the city and canal have a coffee ☕ sandwich, ice cream, whatever. Love people watching. At night you can see the water fires..."

"We were in this area for dinner and we were an hour earlier than expected. So we decided to check out this place for passing time. We were on a January Night and there was not much activity going on. We had the park all for ourselves and had a good time strolling around the river and catching glimpses of the buildings near by. Had to climb down few stairs from the street level to get to the park. Car parking was on the streets."

"Very calming atmosphere. Went one night with the family and there was nobody else there so it was nice to just look over the water and do some relaxation. Admittedly, there's nothing really interesting there to look at besides the distant buildings and slow-moving water, but that's good enough for someone who is just looking to relax for a bit. There are a few trash cans around and a good amount of benches for people to sit and relax. Also, I saw a bunny hopping around the park which was kind of cool because I didn't know there were bunnies in this area. I saw some more the next day as well outside of the park. Also, if you're here during the warmer months and are hanging around dusk or dawn, I recommend using mosquito repellant on your body because I did get a couple of bites because I was wearing shorts and short sleeve, but it was nothing serious and not the fault of the park. Wildlife is wildlife. And just something else to note, I heard an owl making its hoot noises, but didn't get a glimpse of it!"
