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.

I don`t get it. We are in Providence & were just at the Capital building, but now you`re telling me that that building with eyes on the roof is the Capital of Providence? 🤔

Black Lives Matter. The AS220 Printshop and Community came together at Kennedy Plaza with our artistic offerings for the march. We were blown away by the reception of all the work as well as inspired by all the positive energy. We extended invitations to families and friends to come print with us! We printed thousands of posters and ran out of some editions all together! We will have more tomorrow for the celebration of Breonna Taylor’s life and all those who have perished at 6pm at 1 Eddy Street in Downtown Providence. Join us. Special shout out to the entire team that came through that day!!!

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.
