Our first and second graders are back on the ice! We encourage learning experiences beyond the classroom, and #iceskating is a fun activity that engages the mind and body and can help improve balance and coordination! Plus, it`s always great to see everyone come together and have a good time. #schoolspirit #iceskating #fun #PVD #providencerink #parentvolunteers

By 1983, when this photo was taken, the railroads that had dominated the city for over 100 years were clearly past their prime. These overgrown and elevated train tracks would soon be removed and those that remained pushed underground. The tunnel that these elevated tracks led to would be closed and the bridge across the Seekonk River on the other side of the tunnel would be raised for the last time.

Downtown belongs to the people who walk through it every day; the friends meeting up, the families strolling, the quiet moments on a bench, and the energy of shared city life. Thanks to your support, our parks and public spaces remain open, welcoming, and vibrant for everyone.
From art and light installations to concerts, cultural celebrations, and wayfinding that tells our story, your support helps bring downtown to life — season after season.
