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.
GM!! I am happy to share with you that this first time children’s book author will be back at providenceflea this Sunday, August 11th from 10-3pm. 🎉🎊📚📚📚
As a newbie in this space, I can say that it isn’t easy, but if you have a desire to do something (in this case, saw a need), do it! I found that black and brown girls weren’t happy about their hair texture. Therefore, I wanted to dispel that. I’ve spent my entire adult life mentoring and building confidence in girls, so this was a no brainer for me.📚
I am going to rest my mind a few days and start on my second book. I have plenty of ideas, but as an indie writer, I’m educating myself as I go.🥰
This wasn’t suppose to be a long post, so come buy books to gift, bless your tummy from the amazing food trucks, and get lost in all the local vintage finds. You won’t regret it!🤣 #stevensstoriescb #thepuffythingbook #pvdflea #indiewriters #kidslit #childrensbooks #hairtexture #authorsofinstagram #providence #195districtpark
Rolling into another busy week - and we couldn’t be more grateful!

Gave a tour of the Downtown Providence parks to future policymakers from the Brown University Watson Institute — what an inspiring, intelligent, and energetic group of humans. They’re about to make Providence their home for graduate school, and we’re so lucky to welcome them. Special thanks to @chrismarsella and the Track 15 team for warmly welcoming the new class and leading a thoughtful conversation on how we can develop future policies that truly work for communities. Can’t wait to see you around the city and work alongside you soon! @watsoninstitute @track15ri

Public spaces are the pulse of Providence, where 400 years of stories invite strangers to become friends because they belong.
Standing among Providence leaders at the @beardfoundation House felt like a dream as we unveiled our “You Belong Here” pedestrian wayfinding system to over 40 national press members in NYC! Soon, 20 acres of our downtown Providence parks and blue riverfront will be knit into one seamless, colorful loop with a multiphase wayfinding project.
The vivid banners, designed by our own @risd1877 graduates Tatiana and Jose at @buenagraficasocialstudio, emerged from our research and conversations with community leaders, neighbors, institutions @rhodeislandhistory historians, and artists. These banners pair with digital immersive maps by @localrobotpvd and five large interactive anchors filled with music and lights @lemondestudio , creating an urban treasure hunt that turns downtown into an outdoor museum. Think of it as a permanent Lumina!
Chris Marsella and his team at @track15ri anchored our park loop, transforming a raw brick train station into our city living room that showcases our diverse cuisine. Kristen Adamo and the @GoProvidence crew ran the event with impeccable professionalism and polish, showing over 40 national press members that hospitality is one of our finest arts.
To top it off, Mayor Smiley @pvdmayor , Providence’s chief marketing officer, has invested deeply in public spaces, putting Providence on the national map and showing the world what makes us special, because we are being considered again as one of the nation’s most walkable cities by @usatoday! When the Mayor’s blueprint put people first, you know you belong in Providence! Thank you @saveurmag for the write-up!
Please join us downtown as we unroll this wayfinding system on July 20th. Scan a code, dance with a musician, share a meal, support a local chef and an artist, brainstorm with a student. Let Providence surprise you and together we will show the world why everyone belongs here! Thank you team @providenceplanning
