Franciscan Park

Address: Bell St, Providence, RI 02909

Heavy use has worn most of the grass away at this Providence park, leaving a largely dirt surface under the shade trees, though the fenced space itself is generous and gives dogs plenty of room to run. Water taps, waste bags, and benches are on site, but there are no separate areas for small dogs, so it skews better toward confident, socialized adults. The community keeps things running, though some visitors have noted occasional friction between users.
