Lovely walk from Point St to the Michael S Van Leesten Memorial Bridge along the east side of the Providence River…flowers, places to sit, shade, breezes…and pollinator hotels!

Walking at the Providence river today checking out the waterfowl and the trash. So sad that nature has to share space with litter and broken bottles🤬 Providence can be such a dump! #swansofinstagram #swans #waterfowl #mallards #litter #providence #providenceriverwalk #providenceriver #providenceriverbridge #littering
Took a stroll along Providence Riverwalk — special for its vibrant blend of nature, culture, and urban amenities. But still an opportunity to increase resilience, accessibility and ecology #providence #rhodeisland #providenceriverwalk #woonasquatucketriver

The “Washington Buildings” once occupied the spot where the Hospital Trust Building is now, so we’re looking at what is today the northwest corner of Westminster and Memorial Blvd. Above the building, you can see the tower tops for the original Union Station, so we know this photo was taken before 1896, probably in the late 1880s or early 1890s.

Living Edge transforms a small stretch of Providence’s waterfront into something bigger—an evolving space that blends art, ecology, and community. Designed by DPPN board member, adam anderson, of DESIGN UNDER SKY (@design.under.sky), this award-winning installation reimagines what our riverfront can be: resilient, beautiful, and deeply connected to the natural world.
