Prospect Terrace Park
A small viewpoint park atop College Hill, overlooking downtown and the State House, with a large statue of Roger Williams.
Prospect Terrace Park sits on the north side of College Hill, on Congdon Street. It is small but has wide views over the State House dome, the downtown high-rises and the river valley, and it is especially lovely at sunset. A large granite statue of Roger Williams, the city's founder, stands here, and his remains are also interred on the site. Admission is free. It can be linked with a walk along Benefit Street and Brown University.
