WATERPLACE PARK

Located on the site of the 1848 Cove Basin, Waterplace is a four-acre urban park focusing on a 240 foot diameter basin. Joining it to the east is Providence River Park with over one mile of river walks and seven additional acres of parkland.

the Waterplace Pavilion with paving stones
indicating the Narragansett Bay and the State of
