At the Rhode Island Seafood Festival
DodiB B.

Beautiful park for walking, biking and relaxing. Great spot for the RI seafood festival. Right on the water with long swing installed along with walkway. Beautiful park and water views.

This park is on the bay, where the Providence and Seekonk rivers meet, and located in the Fox Point neighborhood of Providence. It was established in 1680 as the first port in Providence; it was a major transportation hub for material goods and passengers. Tea and spices were traded with the East and West Indies, hence the name India Point. Steamships transported passengers from Baltimore, Miami, and Philadelphia. There's so much history there. There was a wide fishing dock and plenty of people fishing on it when we went; signs all around mentioning to not gut the fish on the dock, once caught, for obvious reasons. A beautiful walking path with views of the water. There were old wooden poles sticking out of the water which I'm assuming were old docks. There were plenty of green space and benches throughout. My toddler enjoyed the fenced in playground; it had a beautiful stone wall with art on it, swings, slides, climbing playscapes, benches, and tables. There was a large soccer field adjacent to the playground. A pedestrian bridge which goes over 1-195 can be accessed there as well as the East Bay bike path. There are many events that takes place there like the annual fourth of July celebrations. Overall, a lovely park with an immense amount of history!

India Point Park is located in the historic Fox Point neighborhood. There are beautiful views of the Providence Harbor and Seekonk River. On Tuesday, July 2, 2024, City of Providence's Independence Day Celebration was held at India Point Park. Programming begins at 6pm and the fireworks display runs from 9pm to 9:30pm. There were live entertainment and food trucks. I arrived at India Point Park around 8:00pm and there were many people around. People had portable chairs or blankets and enjoying the night. The fireworks display started at 8:58pm and it was magnificent. It lasted till about 9:30pm and there were a lot of people heading out. Thankfully, we walked and didn't have to be in the car traffic. I am looking forward to next year's Independence Day Celebration.

One Sunday we were walking by the water in Providence, and we found ourselves passing India Point Park. While we were passing, we saw quite a number of mobile/movable food stalls which comprise a Food Festival. Tip: The price for one of the tickets necessary to visit the food stalls is $20; we considered the value proposition and decided to pass.

A good park along Narragansett Bay. India Point Park is the best shoreline in Providence. Lots of open green space. Getting here from downtown is kind of hard because there's not many parking spaces and the fastest way is a bus. This still isn't that far of a walk. It sits between the shoreline and I-195. Listening to that traffic is the worst thing about it making it less enjoyable than it should be but after awhile you ignore the noise. The access to the park is a bridge over the interstate coming along East Street. A great view is at the end of the bridge. The park is down the large staircase. Cool features in and around. It's across the street from Narragansett Brewery. This is also close to the Brown University campus so you can spot some eggheads which makes for some interesting people watching.

Rope Jungle Gym by the water. So beautiful.

One of my favorite parks in RI. It's by the river with amazing waterfront views. They normally (pre-Covid) have concerts in the summer and fireworks on the 4th of July. Perfectly sized for families with young children. Tons of parking in the lots and n the sidewalk I love their rope playground so much and wish an adult-sized version existed. I climbed onto the jungle gym and walked across the rope bridge while the kids were away and had so much fun while getting a little workout. (climbing ropes is so much more fun than rock climbing). The East Bay bike path starts at the park, making it a beautiful ride!

The bay

According to the Friends Of India Point Park, India Point Park features 18 acres of open space, trees and walking paths along its 3,600-foot shoreline. Located at the confluence of the Seekonk and Providence Rivers where they widen into Narragansett Bay, the Park is the only broad expanse of Bay shoreline in Providence accessible to the public. It gives nearly 200,000 people a day a dramatic view of the Bay. We arrived here early to catch the Providence-Newport Seastreak Ferry. The Providence Terminal is located adjacent to the park. As we had plenty of time before our ferry was to depart, we decided to stroll around the park. It is a very long, and relatively narrow park, offering great views of the bay. There are nice bike paths, walking trails and a playground. It also offers a long shoreline for fishing, or just sitting down to take in the view.

Nice park, walk a long the water or bring the kids to the playground. Plenty of free parking. Climb up to the india point bridge , what a nice view Saw people having bbq's and picnics

Beautiful park with gorgeous views! Great for picnics and walks. Sort of near a highway but other than that noise, it's peaceful.

Ben W.

Great spot to have lunch, go for a short walk and enjoy the ocean view while getting a good view of the cities harbor. Highly recommend if just visiting for the day!

Can usually get electric scooter. Kids also on their personal scooters

We love this park! great park to stroll sit or take kids to playground. Its mostly a big kids playground 5+ but little ones can enjoy some of the sections too. Its a great place to bring snacks or basket of food and look out on the beautiful water. Parking is awful but I always end up finding something sometimes street parking. This is a great park for everyone.

Jennifer M.

Nice spot to go for a picnic, sit back, relax, do some people watching with a water view, and enjoy a nice cool breeze. There are plenty of park benches, a great walking path, a nice playground and a fun spot to fish!

Awesome lobster roll
Helga S.

Love this urban park! Great water views! Clean park, people clean up after their dogs, easy parking, lots of people here but you never feel overcrowded. Great park to have a picnic, walk the path, fish from the docks, just hang out, plus you feel safe. Food trucks often appear, you're in the city but you feel like you're in the country. Great park!

The large hill that runs up to the walking bridge over 195 turns into a sledding/snowboarding/skiing extravaganza!

This is an amazing bit of nature and recreation, right in Providence. In the summer there's a…read moreWednesday farmer's market from 3-6, and there are frequent weekend concerts at the top of the hill. There are also a sledding hill, baseball diamonds and a skate park at the base. I come here for the hiking. For being only 10 minutes from downtown providence, it's very impressive. It's small, just shy of 90 acres, but the trail network is fantastic. The views of Providence from the top of the hill and the vista are great.There's a map at the entrance to the park, I usually just do one big loop when I visit. There's a trail map you can print out on the website as well. This is an urban park, so litter can be a problem. Please do your part and bring your trash out with you.

Can my tax dollars please go towards better signage & upkeep of this beautiful park? Please?…read more Such a joy to have public access to green space like this right in the middle of the city. I felt my cortisol drop significantly just after a few steps on the trail. At one point, the Providence noise pollution almost disappeared & all I could hear was birds & bugs & wind. Unfortunately it's a seriously confusing smorgasbord of trails. I had to pull up AllTrails a few times, which is borderline embarrassing, considering how small of a park this is. I'm not sure I really followed any of the proper trails, just kinda zigzagged around. I would've felt more at ease if the trails were marked more clearly. Still highly recommend as a great green space. Enjoy!

I have been walking this park for over 20 years and have watched it grow from a slightly sketchy…read morewild patch of woods to a well maintained beautiful place with easy to walking trails that make you feel you are far from the city (well a little far). The park is split by a road that goes between the River Road and Butler Ave (Irving Ave can get you there heading towards the river). It is set off and not easy to find if you don't know about it. One half has wide easy to walk on paths that loop and can give some sense of being bigger than it's foot print. The other half is more challenging due to it still wild nature, the trails are footpaths that can be difficult due to rocks slopes and leaf litter, but still a great easy way to get some steps in with a little added cardio. You have to cross Irving Ave to enter the other side. Speaking of Cardio, there are dirt and log "steps" that bring you down to the water. Dogs are welcome but should be on a leash this is NOT A DOG PARK. I say this because I have had unleashed dogs lunge for me only to be reprimanded by said dogs ignorant owner for complaining in the dog park, sheesh. Please go, bring you doggie poo bags in and bring them back out! The park usually has bags at the sign as you enter the trails.

For a park that's in a major city like Providence, this park is super clean and well taken care of…read more It's a great park with nice wide paths and make you believe you are in the forest somewhere and not in a city. Not only do you get the quietness of a forest but also a great view of the Seekonk River. Very little road traffic , and if you like kayaking, there is a launching place into the river near here. There is also the start of the Blackstone walking path which is on Blackstone Blvd. All these places are dog friendly!
