I’ve driven by the pedestrian bridge many times and always wanted to check it out. It’s beautiful at night. Will have to go back once I’m better at taking nighttime photographs. #providenceriverwalk #providencepedestrianbridge #providence #providencerhodeisland #getoutside #ilovetoexplore #friendship #nature #naturelover #naturetherapy #urbanphotography #soulfighter #getback2nature #cannon

Providence Waterfire, visited for the first time in almost 10 years.

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.

🌊 Waterplace Park: Where History Meets the River 🌉
Once the site of the historic Great Salt Cove, Waterplace Park was completed in 1994 and now anchors one of Providence’s most iconic public spaces. Connected to nearly ¾ mile of cobblestone-paved Riverwalk, this waterfront park features Venice-style bridges and winding pedestrian paths that sit just below the hum of city traffic.
🕯️ Best known as the heart of WaterFire, Waterplace Park comes alive in the summer with bonfires on the river and music that echoes through the city — a must-experience for locals and visitors alike.
