Amazing parks can be found scattered all over Rhode Island! While some are filled with hundreds of acres of deep forested hiking trails, others offer lovely cliffside walking paths with scenic overlooks. Others still are well manicured urban parks found hiding right in plain sight. This one modestly sized park offers arguably one of the most stunning views in the entire state.
Prospect Terrace is a park found in the College Hill area of the East Side of Providence.
