India Point Park
A waterfront park at the mouth of the West River, connected to downtown’s river path by a footbridge. Good for a walk with bay views.
India Point Park sits south of Fox Point, where the Providence River flows into Narragansett Bay. Its grassy lawns run down to the water, offering views of sailboats and the harbor. The Michael S. Van Lier Footbridge, opened in 2019, links the park with the downtown riverfront walkway. The walk takes about 20 minutes, and the bridge has benches and viewing platforms. The park is free to enter, and outdoor events are common in summer. Wickenden Street’s cafés are just nearby.
