Gateway Center

In the Fall of 2022, the Providence Parks Department and its partners at the Providence Redevelopment Authority and the Planning and Development Department debuted a new Gateway and Visitor’s Center for Roger Williams Park. As its name suggests, the facility is a gateway from Broad Street to Roger Williams Park’s many recreational opportunities, greatly improving the lens through which park visitors see the Washington Park and surrounding neighborhoods, and how neighbors view their connection to the park.

Working closely with non-profit partners, including the Roger Williams Park Conservancy, the Met School, Johnson & Wales University, GoProvidence, and many others, visitors are able to access information about the many free public events, amenities, and services in Roger Williams Park, the surrounding neighborhoods, and along the Broad Street Corridor.
