Lying adjacent to Kennedy Plaza, Biltmore Park and The Rink, historic Burnside park was dedicated in 1892 and landscaped following the completion of Union Station in 1898. The Banjotti Fountain (1899), created by Enid Yodel, was commissioned by Paul Bajnotti as a memorial to his late wife, Carrie Brown. Today, the park sits in the heart of Providence and offers shady benches, a recently-restored fountain, and Brandon's Beach Playground.

Just noticing that the birds are healthier. Never planned to be a voyeur of sorts.

Local artist Sylvia Ann Soares visited mylivingmonument today and wrote Nancy Elizabeth Prophet on her card asking “Who do I look up to?” Prophet was the first person of color to graduate from risd1877 in 1918. Who do you look up to?

The Ambrose Burnside Monument, dedicated in 1887, was originally located where the U.S. District Court is located now. Compare the difference between the current pedestal and the pedestal in this photograph. The pedestal was changed when the statue was moved from what was the east end of Exchange Place to what was then City Hall Park, cutting the height of the monument from 31 feet to 20 feet. This photo was taken in 1891.

Burnside Park is owned and managed by the City of Providence.

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
