Roger Williams Park - The People's Park of Providence, RI

For over 100 years, the People’s Park has attracted generation after generation.

Roger Williams Park was created in the early 1870s

after Betsey Williams bequeathed 102 acres of farmland and woodland to the city of Providence to be used for public purpose. A portion of the gift included land that was shared with her great, great, great grandfather, Rhode Island founder Roger Williams, by the Narragansett sachems Canonicus and Miantonomo. Learn More

This family of ducks need healthy bodies of water

This family of ducks need healthy bodies of water to thrive. Unfortunately, rain washes millions of gallons of pollution from our streets into Providence waterways every year. That’s why the @cityofprovidence invested $1.4M to reduce pollution in the Park with some green infrastructure, like this project near Pleasure Lake actively filtering pollutants (and looking good doing it!). And, YOU CAN HELP! When we’re allowed to gather again, we will be using volunteers under the direction of @uricoopext to monitor the health of the ponds. 🔎
