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.

After losing a bidding war to buy its longtime location on South Water Street, the ProvidenceFlea has a new home for its artisan market ahead of the summer season.
The Flea will be relocating just a stone’s throw away to the other side of the Providence River in the 195 District Park.

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

providenceflea | Yesterday was the last day of the outdoor Providence Flea Market 195districtpark! It was a beautiful day to walk around and shop with my daughters 🛍️👯♀️. One of them found a great up-cycled shirt from chantalgalipeau.studio ♻️ and the other found a beautiful sun catcher from kcermom ☀️
Exciting things are happening at 195districtpark ! The 195 District Park Pavilion is taking shape. It will be home to year-round food and beverage concessions and public restrooms. This pavilion will be a central hub for the community, providing a welcoming space for park visitors and supporting park events. Stay tuned for more updates as construction progresses!

🌊 Waterplace Park: Where History Meets the River 🌉
Once the site of the historic Great Salt Cove, Waterplace Park was completed in 1994 and now anchors one of Providence’s most iconic public spaces. Connected to nearly ¾ mile of cobblestone-paved Riverwalk, this waterfront park features Venice-style bridges and winding pedestrian paths that sit just below the hum of city traffic.
🕯️ Best known as the heart of WaterFire, Waterplace Park comes alive in the summer with bonfires on the river and music that echoes through the city — a must-experience for locals and visitors alike.
