Grant's Block
260 Westminster St, Providence RI 02903
Grant's Block Park, located at the corner of Westminster and Union Streets, has reopened with a fresh new look. Completed in May 2024, the revamped park features a 1,730 square-foot dog park, new cedar seating, beautifully landscaped beds with nine new trees and flowering perennials, and enhanced lighting throughout. Designed by Cornish Associates, Ryan Associates, and Union Studio Architects, with Landscape Creations handling the build, the park is a welcoming addition to the Westminster Street Corridor.

Landscape architecture is a long game, and projects often take years to come to fruition. Given that, there is no better feeling than seeing a space you’ve designed filled with happy people.
Grant’s Block in Providence, RI, is such a space. What was once an empty, albeit much-used, lot has been transformed into a flexible open space that once again hosts beloved community events such as Movies on The Block, a series of free outdoor film screenings.
Kudos to our fantastic client, Buff Chace and cornishassociates, design partners unionstudioarch and horsleywittengroup, and contractor extraordinaire landscapecreationsri

This time of year, it’s especially rewarding to see the space buzzing with life—neighbors grabbing coffee, catching up with friends, walking their dogs, and gathering for community events 🙌

This outdoor space will soon be coming to life with wood working and plant life in spring. A dog park will be installed on the other side of the parking lot for downtown furry friends 🦮

We’ll be here slinging longlivebeerworks draft, a guest tap from shaidzonbeerco, plus regional cider + wine, 12-9pm!
farm_to_sandwich + atomicblondeicecream also join us on the block this afternoon to feed you well.
At the Long Live Beergarden, we aim to create a focused draft list that offers a snapshot of the freshest beers that are coming out of longlivebeerworks, along with summertime staples + exciting canned cider and wine from regional producers we admire.
Fresh this week to the tap list:
Through These Eyes (DIPA) – a generously hopped double IPA featuring Galaxy, Citra Lupulin powder + Rakau (8.2%).
Through These Eyes bursts with notes of citrus, pineapple, mango, stone fruit and grapefruit zest.
We’ll see you at #grantsblock Fri–Sun this week!
