Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Parking at Waterplace Park on Memorial Boulevard Waterplace Park is at 12 Memorial Boulevard in downtown Providence, 0.2 mi from Providence centre. The site itself does not offer on-site parking, according to SpotAngels (spotangels.com), so drivers should plan for a nearby garage or reserved space rather than expecting an attraction car park. The closest parking identified by SpotAngels is at 500 Exchange Street (spotangels.com). Waterplace is also connected to 3/4 mile of cobblestone-paved paths, making the final approach a walking route through the downtown park area (downtownparks.org). ## Parksy Spaces Within a Short Walk of Waterplace A garage at 41 Stillman Street is 227 yd from Waterplace and costs $13 a day. A secure garage in downtown Providence is 243 yd away at $10 a day, giving drivers two priced options within a few minutes on foot. A secure 24/7 private space in Providence is 0.3 mi away and costs $38 a day. For longer stays, a secure 24/7 private parking space is 0.4 mi away at $100 a month. Two Benefit Street spaces are 0.5 mi away, each priced at $200 a month. Show map of Providence ## Busy Waterplace Dates and Downtown Street Parking Waterplace sits in the downtown Providence area, where demand rises when visitors gather for WaterFire. Providence Place Mall is open 24/7, and the first two hours are free there, according to GoProvidence (goprovidence.com). WaterFire’s parking information lists a current meter rate of $1.25 an hour, with short-term parking at $0.75 for 30 minutes, according to WaterFire Providence (waterfire.org). The same source lists shorter meter increments of 25 cents for 12 minutes and 25 cents for 10 minutes for short-term parking, so street parking requires attention to the applicable meter option. ## Other Providence Garages and Free Parking Possibilities Providence Place Mall is another named parking option near the park. Its garage is open 24/7, and GoProvidence says the first two hours are free; parking for a little longer costs $2 (goprovidence.com).

The station provides the clearest car-free approach for visitors arriving by train, with the final stretch leading into the downtown park area. Waterplace is only 0.2 mi from Providence centre, so the attraction can also be reached on foot from central Providence. The park’s 3/4 mile of cobblestone-paved connections creates a pedestrian route around the site, according to Downtown Parks (downtownparks.org).
