195 District Park is seven-acre urban waterfront park in the heart of Providence’s 195 District that opened in 2019. The park was designated open space as part of the relocation of a portion of Interstate 195 and the creation of the I-195 Redevelopment District. The park serves as a community gathering place and a cornerstone of a growing innovation district, hosting thousands of daily visitors with programming and events throughout the year. The park features two seasonal concessions, an ice cream vendor and a beer garden.
Look at me! Don’t I look so distinguished? I’m Cricket, and I have fabulous news for you and your kitty crew!
The amazing PVD Flea is sticking around! You can now come see us at the 195 District Park this Sunday, October 5th from 11 am to 3 pm!
And, because I’m a generous kitty, I’m sharing my favorite seasonal toys with the all of you! Be sure to stock up on:
🍂 Seasonal Cat Kickers
🎃 Super fun Catnip Pumpkins
I simply couldn’t enjoy my own seasonal toys knowing other cats don’t have one! It’s my mission to make sure every cool cat gets to have the same autumn fun I do!
Come say hi and take home the best toys for your furry friend. The RIFR crew will be on hand to answer any questions you have about potential foster opportunities or cats up for adoption.

Join us in preserving and enhancing the Downtown Providence Park Network (DPPN)
Because of you… our parks live forever. 💚
Downtown belongs to the people who walk through it every day; the friends meeting up, the families strolling, the quiet moments on a bench, and the energy of shared city life. Thanks to your support, our parks and public spaces remain open, welcoming, and vibrant for everyone.
From art and light installations to concerts, cultural celebrations, and wayfinding that tells our story, your support helps bring downtown to life — season after season.
As grant funding tightens, individual support matters more than ever. If you’re able, consider making an end-of-year gift to keep these spaces thriving for all who call Providence home.
Thank you for an incredible 2025! here’s to 2026.
Downtown Providence is a place where people belong. You belong HERE 📍 Providence
Merry Christmas Eve! 🎄 Reliving the sparkle of the PVD Holiday Festival and feeling all the cozy vibes. Thanks for celebrating with us, Providence!

Be kind to yourself, be kind to each other, and when you’re ready, come downtown. We love PVD, Westminster Street & @symposiumbooks
