Peace & Plenty Park

A Quiet Haven in the City

Found on Peace Street in Providence's Elmwood neighborhood, Peace & Plenty Park offers a breath of fresh air for those looking to escape the urban hustle. This green space offers a place where you can reconnect with nature without leaving the city limits.

From Empty Lots to Community Treasure

It shows what can happen when neighbors come together with a shared vision.
