This Memorial Day, we honor those who gave everything ❤️
Whether you’re gathering with loved ones, enjoying the day, or spending time downtown, we invite you to pause and reflect on the meaning behind the day.
Our parks are open, our city is alive, and we’re grateful to share it with you.

The Providence River is one of the best playgrounds in the city 🌊
Paddle at your own pace, kick back on a guided cruise, or float through downtown in old-world style—there’s truly something for everyone.
Even better: Coastal Resources Management Council and The Nature Conservancy are actively clearing decades of debris near the Point Street Bridge, making way for cleaner, safer, and more beautiful waters ahead.
✨ Go full Venice-mode with La Gondola
🚤 Cruise the city with Providence River Boat Company
🛶 Grab a paddle with Ocean State Kayak
Your next downtown adventure starts on the water.

Loved the chalk art festival @providencerink on Saturday!
If we had a vote, we’d give the top prize to @pvdrec for this masterpiece from an artist who said he’d never used chalk before?! 🏆
**update: he won!!

Exploring downtown Providence just got a whole lot easier! The Downtown Providence Park Network’s new interactive Wayfinding Map connects everything in one place, from park locations and upcoming events to local hotspots and things to do.
Just head to downtownparks.org, and click the banner at the top. Then click the menu to navigate to your points of interest.
The app includes links to the 200 colorful street banners from the “You Belong Here” wayfinding campaign, each with a unique QR code you can scan to learn about the artwork and its history. Tap any park pin to unlock amenities, must-see features, and what’s happening nearby, and let the map guide your perfect downtown day.
