🍄 Ready to explore glass art in our downtown Providence parks? YOU can on Sunday July 20th at 12:00pm! We’ll be hiding beautiful glass mushrooms made by our incredible partners @gatherglass throughout the downtown Providence parks! Come downtown for a Mushroom Urban Treasure hunt! 🍄🍄🍄
📍 Look for🍄🍄🍄 along the Park areas between the Point Street bridge to Waterplace Park & Basin!
📸 Found a 🍄? It’s yours to keep – BUT snap a photo of where you found it, tag @downtownparks & @gatherglass and include the park name in the photo! We’ll keep everyone posted on the 🍄count in our stories! @bignazo
🎁 Every tagged photo counts as an entry to win a second surprise based on the type of mushroom you find! But we’ll have to see the picture for an entry and the winner will be announced later that week on Instagram!
🚀 This 🍄🍄🍄 treasure hunt kicks off our Wayfinding Project #Youbelonghere on July 20th!
See you downtown!

Welcome back to Meet Us in Downtown with DPPN! ✨ Today we’re catching up with a friend who lives and works right here in the city—and walks the Riverwalk loop daily. We even compared it to the Seine in Paris! 🇫🇷🌊
We also talked about something exciting coming soon: our wayfinding project launching in downtown parks this year! Stay tuned—this is just the beginning.
Thanks for meeting us Downtown! 💬🏙️
