This park has wide dirt paths. It is a little hilly. I have never seen it crowded. Dogs are allowed, but not their poop. Many dog owners seem to ignore that rule. As with any wooded area, spray for ticks...no matter what time of year. Skip this place in hot summer as it is filled with mosquitoes. In the Fall, the crisp smell of the changing seasons, the brilliance of the changing color of the leaves and if you listen carefully you can hear the ocean which is about 1 mile away

Watch a street artist sketching the city, enjoy a lovely stroll by the river past Venice inspired bridges or see some wonderful public art, all at this well-designed four-acre park and scenic riverwalk, considered to be the heart of the restoration of Providence's downtown area.

We were just there a short time but did enjoy the bridges and walkways of the Riverwalk. Sadly we arrived the day after the final FireWater show. Nearby are PF Changs, Panera Bread and other restaurants, the train station is a 5 to 10 min walk (depending on your abilities) so if you arrive for your train really early then it's a nice place to take a walk. Capitol Building is right across from the train station so it too is a place to visit. I. always enjoy when multiple things are near each other, so was delighted to realize the RiverWalk, train station, Capitol Building and restaurants are nearby!

Nice Audubon trail that goes through the woods, around a pond and to an open field. Moderate level hike, no steep inclines.
