Burnside Park
Exchange Terrace, Providence, RI 02903
Lying adjacent to Kennedy Plaza, Biltmore Park and The Rink, historic Burnside park was dedicated in 1892 and landscaped following the completion of Union Station in 1898. The Banjotti Fountain (1899), created by Enid Yodel, was commissioned by Paul Bajnotti as a memorial to his late wife, Carrie Brown. Today, the park sits in the heart of Providence and offers shady benches, a recently-restored fountain, and Brandon's Beach Playground.

Decided to go back and redo this piece of downtown Providence from a couple months ago. I’m much happier with the changes now.
Happy to see this photo of painted cardboard cutouts (originally created by #spacetransformationstation to support transit riders in Kennedy Plaza) used in the "Week Without Driving" campaign.

History
The Ambrose Burnside Monument, dedicated in 1887, was originally located where the U.S. District Court is located now. Compare the difference between the current pedestal and the pedestal in this photograph. The pedestal was changed when the statue was moved from what was the east end of Exchange Place to what was then City Hall Park, cutting the height of the monument from 31 feet to 20 feet. This photo was taken in 1891.
