Lots of green
Brian S.

Music veggies and hummers Lippitt Park is a six acre park that is located toward the north end of Providence. An open area with old trees, a fountain and very cool playground but no hoop or tennis courts or ball fields. The park gets a whole lot of use in the warm weather and lots of people eat lunch here or go for short walks. The fountain is a bit iffy but I've heard that they finally fixed it. The park is home to a farmers market and a whole bunch of musical events in the summer and gets lots of people attending these events. A very cool humming bird sculpture type of thing is at one end but I've never actually seen any hummers around it. Lippitt is a very pleasant and useful neighborhood park. A nice use of the space that is well utilized by the people in the neighborhood.

Lippitt Park is a great little spot on the East Side to come chill with whatever goody you've picked up from any number of fab shops along Hope St and just enjoy. Although it's wedged between Blackstone Boulevard and Hope St, it's actually quite peaceful and quaint. I happen to love it here. One side of the park is all grassy and picturesque with a few trees for shade, a few benches for resting, and on some days, a wicked good hot dog cart courtesy of Chez Pascal. The other end holds the fountain and a fun little playground for kids. On Wednesday afternoons and Saturday mornings, the park holds the Hope Street Farmers' Market, which is awesome. Not only are there amazing local food purveyors, local artisans bring their goods as well and it's just a peachy time for all. Parking is street only along the Boulevard or Hope, but the park is large enough so that it shouldn't be a problem. Oh - and don't forget that Three Sisters is just across the street - go gecha some hand-made ice cream, kids!

The playground. Usually a bit overcrowded.

I wish there was more playground here as it gets completely mobbed on the weekends and spring afternoons. The playground pieces suffer from severe congestion as kids cram to try to climb up. The large green spaces are only fully utilized during the summer concerts and such that happen here (which are fabulous.) decent sand area and swings. This playground isn't really built for toddlers, there are two elements for toddlers but the small slide is up the same set of stairs as the big slide. Serious design flaw that leaves kids of all ages jammed together and adults awkwardly trying to help their 1-2 year olds navigate the crowds. Otherwise it's lots of fun for the kids. Good picnic space and the fountain is nice during the summer.

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!
