Providence River Walk

11.9.24 We found free street parking by Providence Athenaeum and walked down a block to do our walk around the river. Our other option was to park in the garage by the mall. This is an easy walk that's good for all ages with many spots for photos. You'll walk under bridges, see gondola boat rides (in nice weather), murals, windmills, and beautiful buildings. If walking alone, just be aware of your surroundings. After all, this is a city that's busy with locals and visitors.

Slightly further north nearby Memorial Park, Waterfire is memorably celebrated, which at least in winter is not ridiculously crowded and a worthwhile spectacle. Ducks cavort in the river, which is fun to watch.

I took the dogs early on a rainy Sunday morning. They loved the smells of the city. Very few people out and about at 8am. Great!

This a very nice of the downtown area to go for a walk. It's right next to the river so the views are amazing. This was my 1st time visiting this city and definitely enjoyed my time there. If you plan on visiting definitely take a walk through here.

It's a wonderful place strolling with family & friends. Check out their waterfire event. It really " hot". The next one is in Labor Day & only partially bonfires will be lite. But if you go at the end of September, it's a full event. Besides high-end restaurants, there's will be some food trucks and crafts vendors. There's a big mall at the start point called the Basin near state capital. Parking at street $1.25/hr & free after 6 pm. Other parking garages $ 8-20 depending on how long you park.
