DPPN activates, connects and enhances public spaces in the downtown and along the waterways of Providence to spark civic pride, fuel economic vitality, attract visitors and showcase the city as a world-class destination.

We envision a network of dynamic, interconnected public spaces and waterways that serve as a model for urban vitality in downtown Providence. Strengthened by enduring public and private partnerships and sustained investment, these spaces enrich lives and draw in residents and visitors to cultivate a sense of belonging, build traditions, and drive community well-being through the energy and participation of the people who use them daily.
