At the Providence Children’s Museum, play, creativity, and exploration are what we do, we are the champions of play! In honor of Disability Pride Month, we are learning about and being inspired by iconic artist, Frida Kahlo. Join us and create your vibrant masterpiece using paint sticks!

🌉 Park Highlight: Michael S. Van Leesten Memorial Bridge
Connecting communities with purpose and beauty. This pedestrian bridge isn’t just a pathway over the Providence River — it’s a symbol of unity, honoring a civil rights leader who dedicated his life to bridging divides. Whether you’re walking, biking, or taking in the view, it’s a modern landmark with deep roots in progress.

Due to expected rain this weekend, we’ve made the extremely difficult decision to postpone the “You Belong Here” Kickoff Celebration, originally scheduled for this Sunday.
With so many incredible partners, activities, and community members involved, the Downtown Providence Parks Network and its Wayfinding supporters want to ensure this event gets all the sunshine it deserves.
The celebration will be rescheduled for September, and we can’t wait to gather with you then.
In the meantime, keep your eyes out for the newly installed Wayfinding banners—they’re already bringing color, meaning, and walkability to downtown, and this is just the beginning.
You belong here. See you soon.
