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.

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!

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! 🍻

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.

Honored to host the @cnu_newurbanism in downtown Providence this week. We welcomed an inspiring group of urban and city planners from across the U.S. to our little but mighty city to explore our public spaces, activations, and programming. It was exciting to dive into our upcoming wayfinding project that will be installed soon—and a huge thank you to Captain Tom at @provriverboat for that unforgettable historical perspective from the water. What a privilege to showcase Providence and share our passion with so many forward-thinking minds!!
Ps! Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing dads — we’re grateful for you today and every day!
