Whoever was on the civil engineering team for designing this park deserves major props. Big fan.

There are several little toys, toy kitchens, little cars, a baby swing and a big kid swing, and three slides. There are no restrooms nearby, but there is a garbage can, as well as benches and chairs for adults. I like that this playground has only one entrance, and everyone that comes has very young children. You will be able to see your child at all times because this park is so small - but that's part of the reason that i like it. There is nothing paved, and there aren't any bikes to ride, but it is shaded by a bug tree in the center of the park and there is also a picnic table. This is one of my favorite toddler parks in providence!

The park holds a lot of sentimental value for the city because it houses the Roger Williams statue and tomb. Personally, I appreciate how well maintained the park is and how peaceful it is. On warmer days, it can get a little busy, but it's a great place to relax. When I'm need of a little reprieve I like to bring my blanket and meditate on the grass. I also appreciate its location being so close to Brown and downtown Providence simultaneously. It's convenient and peaceful.

This seems to be a duplicate listing since I already reviewed the other Prospect Terrace Park page…read more I'll just add my two cents anyway. A beautiful and historic park with views of downtown Providence. It is located right on a hill and has the statue and tomb of Roger Williams with his hand out. There were benches and a small path throughout. A great place to picnic, watch the sunset, and just relax. The Rhode Island State House and Providence Place Mall can be seen from there. There is no parking lot just street parking. The houses nearby are historic. This was a frequent stop for author HP Lovecraft. No wonder it is called "The Jewel of the City".

The park was named for George Corliss who invented the Corliss steam invention in the 1850s. A steam engine factory once stood a few blocks away where Home Depot currently resides. In addition to the 0.3 mile walking path, Corliss Park contains a playground, ball fields, handball court, tennis courts, basketball courts, new outdoor fitness equipment, and a community garden. I have been here a few times walking on the easy wooded path, relaxing in the area. Very shady in the summer time. The RIPTA 50 bus stops one block away from the park near the corner of Douglas Avenue and Corina Street.

Situated between lovely old residential homes and the grounds of Hope High School, this space has much to offer. The typical jungle gym activities, sandbox, and traverse-the-netting areas are all done very nicely. Add to that a legitimate climbing and gymnastics ring area, and you have something a cut above. Add to THAT a lovely community garden area, and you begin to get the picture of Brown Street Park. This spot transcends "so nice I want to keep it to myself" status into "this Providence jewel is so good, the word needs to be spread." Please enjoy!

The statue of Ambrose Burnside on a horse is a grand one and can't be missed; the park was named after this Civil War general and governor of Rhode Island. Fun fact: he was the first person to rock a side burn, hence the name Burnside. Both the fountain and statue were added to the park in the late 1800s and early 1900s. There were bus stops all around the park. Many people were enjoying it and walking through. Cons: I did notice that there were trash all over; some of the people using the park just trashes it. I am not sure why this was the case because I saw trash bins throughout the city. Otherwise, the park would be very beautiful, historic, and in the middle of a bustling city.
