Tourism Development | Waterplace Park and Riverwalk

Nationally recognized for its outstanding design, Waterplace Park is the focal point of Providence's revitalized downtown. This four-acre urban park surrounding a tidal basin features an amphitheater, landscaped terraces, and boat landings. A series of Venetian bridges connects downtown Providence to the city's historic East Side. From here you can board a river boat or glide in a gondola down Providence's redesigned rivers. Waterplace Park is also the site of special events such as concerts and the acclaimed WaterFire.
