Grant's Block Park, located at the corner of Westminster and Union Streets, has reopened with a fresh new look. Completed in May 2024, the revamped park features a 1,730 square-foot dog park, new cedar seating, beautifully landscaped beds with nine new trees and flowering perennials, and enhanced lighting throughout. Designed by Cornish Associates, Ryan Associates, and Union Studio Architects, with Landscape Creations handling the build, the park is a welcoming addition to the Westminster Street Corridor.

✨ #ThrowbackThursday – Lighting Up Grant’s Block Park! ✨
F&S Electric, Inc. is proud to have played a role in the revitalization of Grant’s Block Park, located at the corner of Westminster and Union Streets in downtown Providence, RI. Completed in May 2024, this transformation—led by Cornish Associates with design collaboration from Ryan Associates, Union Studio Architects, and Landscape Creations—has turned this space into a welcoming community hub.
Our team enhanced the park’s atmosphere with expertly installed overhead string lighting and perimeter lighting, creating a warm and inviting glow that encourages people to gather, stroll, and relax—day or night. 💡🌆

Consistently delicious, oberlin_pvd never disappoints! Perfect spot to just sit at the bar for a few small plates on a summer night. Looking forward to doing it again, because their Chitarra Cacio e Pepe has my heart ❤️❤️❤️. Also, Oberlin was just named to eater`s "Essential New England Restaurants", well deserved!
