  The water place park and river walk are located in Providence's main street. You can take a walk from the Roger Williams memorial to this area and check everything in less than 30 minutes. Providence doesn't have much to see or do.

  Beautiful surroundings. lively with people, safe, and small enough to be accessible. Tons of restaurants and bars, nice rivers, easy parking.

  Great place to walk or just sit back, chill and people watch. We love Providence and this is at the center of it all. Providence has done a great place transforming itself over the years. Proximity to the Mall, Federal Hill....etc. makes this a place to go.

  A few times a year, Providence hosts Waterfire. It is a fun and easy way to walk around the river and do fun little outside things. The website explains the few times per year the Waterfire is lit. It is something to do to enjoy the community. If you are not part of any of the college communities, I do not know what you would do in Providence except look at the silhouette of the empty office tower against the sky.

  The riverwalk is nice, especially during a WaterFire night! Parking on the street is hard to come by, but there are two parking garages nearby without a ton of walking. Restaurants along the walk are more upscale, but well worth the price. Plenty of other restaurants in the Providence Place Mall and surrounding area.

  Water place park is great if you want to have a relaxing walk in Providence. Most of the park is quite clean and has many attractions nearby.

  If you are able to see the fire show that that would be something worth visiting. Otherwise, there really wasn't much to this place. We walked the distance and it wasn't particularly beautiful or compelling. The area could use some real work to make it a destination.It's worth a walk through if you're in the area but I wouldn't go out of the way to make time for it.

  No Water Fire during our stay but, it was a great area, easy to walk every where, felt very safe. We were able to get around the water area to restaurants within minutes. Next time, we need to plan for a Water Fire too!

  If you have never visited downtown Providence during Water Fire, you are missing a very nice event. Fires light the way for gondaliers to travel through the water as etheral music fills the air. It is a great walk with all kinds of entertainment along the way. Food spots dot the area and if you want a more romantic approach to the evening, eat at one of the restaurants along the route.I believe there are 200 volunteerers that help make this evening special.
