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!

We’re all daydreams about spring over here. To say we’re excited about oberlin_pvd and gifthorsepvd opening in the Trayne Building is an understatement. Sitting out on the patio here - best seat in town. Can not wait.

This right here is the most recent addition to the evolving landscape on Westminster St. The four-story addition to the Trayne building just welcomed longlivebeergarden for the 2021 season. It’s quite a lovely scene watching them transform the space into a vibrant outdoor gathering every Fri-Sun while the weather permits. Cheers to almost summer! 🍻

Big news for the Providence River 💧
We are working with TNC and CRMC, in partnership with the City of Providence, to remove 300 pilings and old decking near the Point Street Bridge through a $2.3M @noaa grant. We are truly honored to be part of this important effort.
This work will:
💧 Improve water quality
🚣 Enhance recreation
⚓ Reduce navigational hazards
Cleaner, safer, and better access to the river we love.
Save this to stay in the loop + share with a river lover 💙
Say hello to the Iceberg Trail ❄️✨ one of the most playful installations lighting up LUMINA 2026.
Created by LeMonde Studio after 3 years of research + development, this interactive experience is powered by YOU. Push, spin, and play for just 20 seconds and each iceberg stores enough energy to glow, sing, and shine for up to 12 minutes.
Six icebergs. Six unique light + sound experiences. Endless winter joy.
Bundle up, bring your friends, and come make the lights come alive 💙
