Last Updated: 6:15pm

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.

What do you think of the transformation?

The Memorial Boulevard tunnel in Waterplace Park, across @track15ri, was once a dark tunnel that could not support activations. Today it is illuminated with dynamic lighting that strengthens our You Belong Here network from the Basin to the Point St Bridge and through Greater Kennedy Plaza.

The lighting program changes throughout the year with curated color palettes that reflect holidays, seasons, and cultural moments, creating moments of connection for everyone who moves through downtown.

With significant investment by @pvdmayor, DPPN grant from @ricommerce and partnership with @sitespecificllc , and the City of Providence, this previously underused passage is now a welcoming and engaging part of the Downtown Parks.

Project support:

• $200K from the Providence capital budget
• $125K CommerceRI grant via Downtown Providence Park Network
• $76K in in-kind contributions from the City’s Parks Department and the RI Dep. of Corrections

Sott’Acqua: A Tale of Two Cities transformed downtown Providence into a powerful, immersive dialogue between Florence and Providence. Together with @splendorofflorence, we filled our waterfront with art, history, and the shared story of two cities shaped by water, resilience, and creativity.
And now the journey continues.
In November 2026, A Tale of Two Cities will come to life once again — this time in Florence.
We can’t wait!
