🌉 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.
