NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS
The heart and soul of the Providence park system are its neighborhood parks. Neighbors and families come together at neighborhood little league fields, children learn to play with one another at neighborhood playgrounds, and seniors keep in shape walking one of the many walking tracks in the City.
The Providence parks system is diverse and includes little league fields, soccer fields, basketball courts, tennis courts, softball fields, a major waterfront park at India Point Park, natural resource conservation areas at Canada Pond, at Blackstone Park, and at Neutaconkanut Park, and 55 playgrounds. In recent years, the park system has been upgraded to include new recreational pursuits, such as water parks in several parks; a canoe facility at Mashapaug Pond; and a community sail boat facility run at India Point Park run by Community Boating of Providence.
