This park runs looks Southwest into Narragansett Bay. It has a great jogging path, large field, and markers that provide details about the historical significance of this former busy port in the early history of Providence and Rhode Island

Located in the historic Fox Point neighborhood of Providence's East Side, India Point Park is celebrated for its sweeping views of the Providence Harbor and Seekonk River. In addition to lighted, paved & stone dust walking paths along the water, the park includes a playground with ropes, swings and a sandbox. There is a ceremonial dock and a pedestrian bridge over Rt. 195 - connecting the park to the neighborhood. India Point Park is the location for the City's annual 4th of July fireworks display, along with concerts and festivals throughout the summer. Seastreak & RIPTA operate a ferry to Newport from a dock adjacent to the park. India Point Park has a rich history as the hub of Providence sea commerce, and in the early 19th century, it was even the location of the first Providence train station. Passengers would arrive from Boston by train and take a boat the rest of the journey to New York City. The pilings visible in the water are remnants of the warehouses that sprung up along the waterfront. As shipping declined, the area along the river was used as a scrap yard. In 1974, environmentalist Mary Elizabeth Sharpe pushed the city to turn the land into a public park. She convinced the mayor to match her $153,000 pledge and proposed a renovation that included playgrounds, picnic areas, bike paths, a promenade, and a boathouse. The park is now stewarded by the Friends of India Point Park

Another close spot for a picnic or long walk with great views! You can drive over and park or do a long walk (~1.5mi) from the studio. For the long walk, you have two great options: walking past the historic homes on Benefit Street, or heading southwest along the waterfront that separates the East Side from downtown.
