One of the best ways to spend our free time, or even a few minutes each day, is to get outdoors and breathe in the fresh air. Hiking in Rhode Island holds so much promise. However, we don’t always have the time or the energy to set off on a hike, which makes a visit to one of Rhode Island’s parks an ideal alternative. The newest park in Providence, Rhode Island, for example, promises an idyllic way to spend an hour or two, and it boasts some of the city’s best views.
Providence welcomed its newest park, Point Street Park, during the summer of 2023. The pretty park provides visitors with a picturesque spot to relax and explore all year long.
Nestled on the Providence River, Point Street Park offers sweeping views of the city skyline, College Hill, and the Michael S. Van Leesten Bridge. Benches dot the area, so you can grab a seat and soak up the ambiance.
Stroll along the walkway or, if you’re a jogger, explore on the running path. While dogs are allowed in the new Providence park, they must remain leashed.
Cross over the walking bridge that connects Point Street Park to the other side of the river. Both sides provide easy access to a variety of shops and restaurants.
Point Street Park welcomes visitors daily from 60 minutes before dawn to 60 minutes after dusk, which means you might be able to catch one of Rhode Island’s sensational sunsets.
